Great social change starts with great strategy.

Future-forward strategy consulting for philanthropists and collaboratives

We work with philanthropists and intermediaries to activate more — and more effective — giving toward the greatest issues of our time.

It’s all about impact.

Significant social and environmental impact requires collaboration, proximity and enduring effort. This depends on two things: strategic philanthropists and strategic executing organizations or collaboratives.

Strategy for Scale exists to support both, along with the systems they operate within, in order to advance specific, equitable and systemic social change.

ACTIVATION

Philanthropy is changing and donors need navigation. New entrants. More vehicles. Many ways to use capital. We work to promote best practice, activate new donors and engage in efforts to scale philanthropic giving.

INNOVATION

The current and future philanthropic landscape requires new infrastructure, new ideas and new voices. We work in partnership to bring these new ideas to life.

ADVISING

And sometimes a little advice goes a long way. We provide limited advising hours (like office hours) for donors and doers interested in strategic consultation.

“I love how your perspective combines the intellectual with the realistic, merging frameworks and structure with actual lived experience. We don't have enough of that kind of thinking in philanthropy!”

Working with donors and doers for over 20 years

None of the issues we face nor the impact we seek is possible without collaboration. Across sectors. Across perspectives. Across organizations. With collective goals and roadmaps we can achieve specific impact with timebound outcomes. Partnership requires care and strategy.
