Who we are

Who we are

Since 2005, Community Works Consulting has been doing this work — partnering with nonprofits, philanthropists, and collaboratives to help them grow stronger, think bigger, and reach further. Over that time, we’ve helped secure millions in funding, built organizational capacity, navigated complex multi-partner collaborations, and turned bold strategic visions into real, measurable outcomes. The work has been varied. The commitment has never wavered.


What’s kept our clients coming back isn’t just what we know — it’s how we work. We start by listening. We adapt to your context rather than arriving with a fixed playbook. And we stay genuinely invested in your success long after any formal engagement ends. The relationships we build tend to last. So does the impact.

Our mission and values

Our mission and values

This work has always been personal for us. Our mission, our values, and our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion aren’t policies or positioning — they’re the foundation of every relationship we build and every engagement we take on.

Mission

Mission

Helping mission-driven organizations to be strong, powerful changemakers.

Values

Values

Intention

Intention

We choose our client engagements with care — guided by shared values, genuine passion, and an honest assessment of where we can add real value. When we’re not the right fit, we say so.

Collaboration

Collaboration

We do this work knowing that our clients live with its outcomes long after we leave. That responsibility shapes everything — how we listen, how we communicate, and how we never move forward without consent.

Loyalty

Loyalty

We build relationships that outlast any single engagement. Trust, reliability, and genuine care are how we earn the privilege of being a long-term partner.

Sustainability

Sustainability

Every engagement is an opportunity to strengthen our clients’ capacity while delivering the work they need done. We build knowledge, confidence, and capability from the inside out — so that lasting change is theirs to keep.

Courage

Courage

We believe real change requires courage — to speak honestly, take thoughtful risks, and sit with uncertainty. When we stumble, we own it, learn from it, and keep moving forward.

Abundance

Abundance

We approach every relationship — with clients, partners, team members, and fellow consultants — with generosity rather than scarcity. We want everyone involved in this work to thrive: financially, professionally, and personally. 

Our Commitment to DEI

Our Commitment to DEI

We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion make us better. Not as an add-on. As a foundation to all we do. Building a team that champions equity, celebrates difference, and makes room for perspectives that challenge the status quo isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to doing this work well. Our strength comes from the range of experiences, backgrounds, and ideas each person brings — to our team, to our client relationships, and to the communities we serve together. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone — our team, our clients, our partners — can show up fully and honestly. That’s not a value we perform. It’s how real change actually gets made.
