DESCRIPTION
It’s been a year. 2025 has taken a toll on the social sector. Communities are living through crisis, the frontline organizations they trust are stretched far past their limits, and funders are navigating scrutiny and growing demands for resources. The widening gap between urgency on the ground and decision-making at the institutional level is real. That’s where consultants come in: the bridge builders helping funders understand lived realities and advocating for strategies that stabilize and strengthen the ecosystem long-term. Whether you already work in this power-building space or are stepping into it, we invite you to own your voice as an agent for change—and to walk your foundation clients into 2026 with clarity, courage, and care.
