Whether you are a donor looking to accomplish more with your money or a nonprofit leader concerned with the future of your organization, The Fort Peace can help you reach your objectives.
We work with nonprofits, foundations, investors, philanthropists, and corporations to provide strategy consulting and leadership development that addresses opportunities and challenges related to scaling social impact.
Supporting Nonprofits and NGOs with Strategy and Growth
Nonprofit and NGO leaders share a passion for social change and a dedication to their organizations. Driven by a desire to do more and create a more just and equitable society, you may question whether your organization is on the right strategic path and needs help with planning for the future.
Fort Peace draws on 15 years of experience helping US-based and global organizations with strategy development, growth planning, organizational assessments, and funding approaches. Guided by this experience, we tailor our consulting services to meet your needs, ranging from the support of a consulting team to explore your strategic questions; to local programs in US cities where groups of nonprofit executive teams work together to develop their strategies and improve their effectiveness; to online, self-paced programs that improve your executive team’s effectiveness and strategy.
Our nonprofit and NGO consulting services help you achieve greater and more equitable impact by addressing important questions.
How We Center Equity in the Design of Our Work
In the spirit of holding ourselves accountable, we apply a racial equity lens in our advisory work. The additional steps we take include the following:
- Centering equity in the design of our work from the first conversations with our clients through to implementation. This means seeking to help every US-based client grapple with the role of structural racism as well as the opportunities to take a racial equity lens in the service of impact. And for clients around the world, it includes raising a range of equity considerations (including ethnicity, gender, and caste) that contribute to disparities in outcomes, as well as supporting more organizations that are directly addressing issues of equity.
- Rigorously examining the role of race and racism in our research and analysis, including tactical steps like interviewing an inclusive range of stakeholders and disaggregating impact data to illustrate the effect of major decisions on communities of color.
- Ensuring that our clients understand the implications of their choices for communities of color. We aim to support nonprofit leaders to have an opportunity to connect with and learn from leaders of color and equity practitioners—for example, when identifying growth goals and designing services.
