What We Do

We use Cause Development® methodology, created by DCA, to orchestrate large-scale efforts to improve lives by redefining problems or identifying opportunities as a cause, building partnerships to advance the cause, and organizing them to work toward clear goals in a shared plan of action.

Our work encompasses strategic planning, leadership and partnership development, resource development and evaluation.


Who We Help

We help mission-oriented leaders and organizations that are dedicated to achieving sustainable improvements in people’s lives on a community-wide, regional, nation-wide, or international scale.

Our clients have included leading foundations, domestic non-profits and international NGOs, corporations, workforce development and economic development entities, municipalities and leadership coalitions.
