By developing the right strategy, we help you envision what is possible. We not only work with our clients to help them develop innovative strategies, we also work behind the scenes to promote the strategies we believe elevate.

Case Studies

Organizational Development

This case study tells the story of an independent, non-profit organization that focuses on educational and health care initiatives to ensure that all children in the nation’s capital have opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. During the winter of 2005, the recently appointed executive director of the organization approached us because he wanted to better understand how he could leverage the organization’s financial resources to increase its impact.

Developing Affiliates

Our work with this client allowed the national staff to better understand the needs of its chapter affiliates, design programmatic responses to meet those needs, and refine its operational mission of serving low-income parents and families. As a result, the client was able to refine its message, customize its marketing collateral to local concerns, and better engage its external stakeholders in coalitions. Download the full case study.

Program Expansion

In this example, we were hired by an organization that has been effectively improving the futures of low-income, high achieving youth by helping them receive a quality education, graduate from high school, and attend college. Our client received a large donation that allowed the organization to serve greater numbers of low-income, high school students. The executive director of the organization wanted to be able to better understand the various needs and preferences of low-income high school students so the organization could expand its services in the most effective manner.
