Since 2016, we have worked with clients in cities across Michigan, and in Chicago and New Orleans. Services include:

We work with senior leaders to set ambitious, measurable, high-impact external relations goals to advance your vision. We then develop detailed, benchmarked plans to achieve those goals, and lead or assist in their implementation. As skilled project managers, we blend seamlessly early or late in your planning. We aim to:
- Help nonprofit organizations grow their impact and operate more efficiently
- Connect truly helpful resources to individuals who will most benefit – usually in education, public health, or workforce or community development
- Advance legislation and inform public policy so that everyone has access to vibrant communities and choices that make for rich, joyful lives
