What to expect?

What do we offer?

We offer flexible consulting arrangements to meet your foundation's needs: project-based consulting for focused support on specific initiatives; retainer advisory for ongoing strategic counsel for foundations actively building or managing immigration programs; and embedded support providing fractional program officer services with deep subject matter expertise and sector relationships. Our consulting services strengthen foundation immigration programs through programmatic strategy design and expansion, building new programs or deepening existing ones with measurable goals, conducting landscape analyses, identifying and diligence high-impact funding opportunities, conducting program evaluation, and facilitating strategic planning.

Who we serve?

Private and family foundations launching or expanding immigration programs, community foundations responding to local immigrant needs, national funders seeking grantmaking support and strategic direction, collaborative funds and pooled giving initiatives, corporate foundations exploring immigrant justice commitments, and institutions seeking expert due diligence support.

Our approach

We partner with foundations recognizing that this landscape is complex, rapidly evolving, and requires both expertise and nimble strategy. Our consulting combines rigorous analysis with practical guidance, helping you balance urgent response with sustainable impact—informed by years of institutional grantmaking, not just theory.
