Groundwork Social Sector Consulting

ˈɡroun(d)ˌwərk/: noun : 1. preliminary or basic work. We believe in people with wild ideas and fire in the belly. We want to know what you're dreaming of and trying to accomplish, and help you get there. We think the groundwork for big ideas begins with three simple questions: Do you have the relationships you need? Do you have the data you need? Do you have the capacity you need? Groundwork Social Sector Consulting is a design & development partner to leaders, organizations, and initiatives seeking to move beyond well understood or status quo efforts. We are a boutique shop able to quickly plug in and flexibly tackle a wide array of projects for nonprofits, public agencies, collective impact initiatives, and philanthropy. While we are particularly focused on inclusive economic mobility, including whether and how systems are structured to reliably produce equitable economic opportunities and outcomes, we are excited by many types of projects. Let us tackle your market research, your partnership cultivation, your community needs assessment, your feasibility testing, your pilot design and development, and more. We have 35 years on-the-ground in Silicon Valley's social sector pushing at the cutting edge of what works for multiply-marginalized youth and young adults ready to deploy in service of your wild ideas.
