Strategy Consulting and Planning
The LegacyWorks Group consulting team provides an array of services to highly catalytic nonprofits, collaboratives, public private partnerships, agencies, funders, impact investors and impact funds. Our engagements and the roles we play are custom fit to the needs of our clients. We vet projects for fit and alignment with our mission, capacity and unique offerings, and when we commit to a project we invest in its success as if it were our own while staying behind the scenes and ensuring our clients and partners are out front.
At any given time we have a portfolio of complementary projects underway. Our engagement teams draw from within our regional initiatives, social enterprises, boards and wide network of partners, advisors and allies. Our consulting engagements often draw on our impact finance, enterprise incubation, fiscal sponsorship, communications, data dashboarding, data visualization, and other offerings.
If you need help planning, resourcing, implementing, scaling or rapidly adapting a project, program or initiative that you believe has the potential for transformative impact at the scale of a community, landscape or system, we’d be happy to explore possibilities with you.
