What we do
Strategic Planning & Research
Strategic planning engagements help organizations clarify priorities, align leadership, and develop practical plans for long-term impact. This work is grounded in research, stakeholder engagement, and real-world conditions in food and agriculture.
Support may include board retreats, organizational assessments, and multi-year strategic planning processes.
- Organizational and program assessments
- Board retreats and facilitated planning sessions
- Multi-year strategic planning processes
- Stakeholder engagement and landscape analysis
Fundraising
Strong initiatives require strong funding strategies. I work with organizations to secure public and philanthropic funding to support their work and advance major initiatives.
Support may include grant writing, proposal development, and fundraising strategy aligned with organizational priorities.
- Grant writing and proposal development
- Fundraising strategy and planning
- Public funding strategy (state and federal)
- Developing materials to support major initiatives
Project Design & Implementation
Many important efforts in agriculture and rural communities begin as ideas that require careful design and partnership building. I work with organizations to develop initiatives, build partnerships, and move projects from concept to implementation.
Support may include initiative design, partnership development, and planning for new programs or sector-wide efforts.
- Initiative design and planning
- Partnership and coalition development
- Program structure and strategy
- Planning for new facilities or sector initiatives
Fractional & Interim Leadership
Organizations sometimes need experienced leadership during periods of transition, growth, or major initiative development. Fractional or interim leadership support helps organizations maintain momentum and navigate important transitions.
I work alongside boards and staff to provide steady leadership and advance strategic priorities.
- Interim or fractional Executive Director leadership
- Staff coaching and leadership development
- Executive Director search and transition support
- Financial and operational systems overalls
