FAQ

We partner with a diverse range of mission-driven organizations including nonprofits, foundations, government agencies, educational institutions, and community-based organizations committed to creating positive social impact. Our clients typically share a commitment to equity, community engagement, and measurable outcomes.

Our engagements vary based on scope and complexity, typically ranging from 3-9 months. Short-term projects might include focused evaluation design or strategic planning facilitation, while more comprehensive partnerships often involve multiple phases of work. We provide clear timelines and deliverables during our initial consultation.

While we're based in the great Wichita Metropolitan, we work with organizations across the country. We offer both in-person and virtual consulting services, adapting our approach to meet your organization's needs and preferences.

Our distinctive approach combines methodological rigor with therapeutic principles. As both researchers and practitioners with backgrounds in psychology and community development, we understand that organizational change requires addressing both systems and relationships. We prioritize building trust, honoring community wisdom, and creating sustainable solutions rather than quick fixes.

We offer both project-based and hourly pricing models. After understanding your specific needs, we'll provide a detailed proposal with transparent pricing. We're committed to making our services accessible and can discuss options that align with your organization's budget constraints.

We collaboratively establish clear success metrics at the beginning of each engagement. These might include improved program outcomes, enhanced organizational capacity, increased funding success, or specific strategic milestones. We build evaluation into all our work, ensuring we can demonstrate concrete impact and adapt our approach as needed.

Equity and inclusion are fundamental to our methodology, not add-ons. We design inclusive processes that engage diverse stakeholders, particularly those most affected by decisions. We critically examine power dynamics, adapt our approaches to different communication styles and needs, and ensure our work actively addresses rather than reinforces inequities.

Knowledge transfer and capacity building are central to our approach. We document processes, provide templates and frameworks, deliver training, and create opportunities for your team to practice new skills with our guidance. Our goal is to leave your organization stronger and more self-sufficient than when we began our partnership.
