Our Process

Founder and Lead Strategist  ·  MPH

Areas of Focus:

• Institutional fixing and organizational transformation
• Funding strategy and program development
• Personal consulting, coaching, mentorship, and sponsorship
• Facilitation, community building, and strategic planning

Natalie is an engaged listener in the truest sense of the word. She comes in, hears what you actually need, and builds toward the big picture you described without dismantling the vision you already have.

There is real guidance here. Real compassion. And real expectations.

She will not carry you across the finish line. But she will run alongside you every step of the way and push you further than you thought you could go. What she asks in return is that you show up ready to do the work.

Operations & Project Management ·  Certified PMP

Areas of Focus:

• Operations and implementation
• Project management and delivery
• Technical writing and procurement

Rosie makes sure the experience runs the way it should. She is the infrastructure behind every engagement, handling the systems, timelines, and details that allow the work to actually get done.

She sees the fine print you did not even know existed. And then she makes sure everyone has read it.

Fifteen years in healthcare and enterprise project management, including major IPO level deals.

Grant Specialist and Program Development Strategist  ·  M.A. UT Austin  ·  Harvard Certificate  ·  PMI Certified

Areas of Focus:

• Grant writing and program narrative development
• Program design and implementation strategy
• Community engagement and equity driven program development
• Change management and systems implementation

Mercedes builds the narrative. She takes complex programs, funding opportunities, and organizational missions and turns them into compelling, fundable proposals.

What makes her different is that she will tell you the bold truth and then hand you the research study that proves it. She is not softening the message to make it easier to hear. She is making sure the message is exactly what it needs to be and that it lands with the weight it deserves.

Her work is rooted in justice. Whether she is writing a grant, developing a program, or advising on organizational strategy, she is always thinking about the people on the receiving end of the work.

She has worked with the Austin Area Urban League, Austin Public Health, United Way, and The Truth Telling Project.

Nonprofit Strategist and Fundraiser

Areas of Focus:

• Foundational strategic development
• Grant writing and fundraising
• Program development and organizational revitalization
• Faith based and community nonprofit strategy

Greg knows what it takes to build something from the ground up and what it takes to save something close to falling apart. His background spans nonprofit revitalization and fundraising across the Midwest with deep roots in faith based community work.

What you might not expect is how he does it. Greg walks into organizations that need restructuring and systems development and he does it with genuine kindness. Not softness. Kindness. There is a difference. He meets people where they are, builds trust first, and then does the hard work of making things function the way they should.

He brings the perspective that only comes from having done this work where the stakes are deeply personal.

Client Experience and Research Lead  ·  MPH  ·  Certified PMP

Areas of Focus:

• Program and funding landscape research

• Data synthesis and research documentation
• Client project management and experience

Dani builds the case. She conducts the research that makes our program development credible and our recommendations defensible. From target audience analysis to competitive landscape reviews, she synthesizes data into clear documentation that informs every strategic decision we make.

Her research operates at a graduate level of rigor. When we are working with large institutions that require depth and precision, Dani is the person who makes sure our work can stand up to scrutiny.

She is also our proverbial Jane of all trades. She steps in wherever she is needed, manages the client experience from the inside, and makes sure every touchpoint is intentional.
