Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate responsibility strategy is grounded in a deep understanding of your purpose and the diverse expectations of your stakeholders, including employees. We help you develop your CSR goals, develop the roadmap to building a high-impact portfolio of initiatives and programs, and strengthen your relationships with stakeholders.

We’re often engaged to evaluate corporate social impact work. All our evaluation services take a customized approach—using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods—to harness evaluation and learning for your diverse stakeholders. We provide actionable insights and build internal capacity to carry on learning efforts.

Along with strong leadership, sound management, effective tools, adaptability, and a values-driven culture, accomplishing your goals takes collaborative muscle. We help you identify your strengths and opportunities for growth to determine how you can best partner with others to achieve your shared aims.

We work with corporate funders on a wide variety of giving programs. Our experienced staff members design, develop, implement, and manage grantmaking efforts. We help you administer grants efficiently, communicate with grantees and grantseekers, and align your grantmaking with other funder objectives.

Tackling complex issues demands integrated action, informed by deep listening, intentional engagement, critical analysis, and bold approaches. To help you achieve your corporate responsibility goals for lasting impact, we design integrated initiatives: strategic endeavors that meaningfully choreograph multiple program components and are responsive to community needs.

We also serve as an extended team for corporate social engagement units, leading their measurement and evaluation across global investments and employee engagement.  

At all stages of work in corporate responsibility—designing a complex initiative, embarking on an organizational change in direction, or creating a suite of materials—strategic communication is essential. We create communication plans that make your voice heard, identifying your messages, messengers, audiences, and channels.

An engaged and effective corporate foundation board helps ensure the foundation is aligning with and supporting the company’s purpose and corporate responsibility goals while ensuring the foundation is observing self-dealing restrictions. We work with companies of all sizes, advising the board on the foundation’s role and approach.

Surface the hypotheses and assumptions underpinning your work. How will you get from here to your goals? We lay out the steps by which your corporate responsibility work will lead to impact. Articulating a Theory of Change and indicators of success are essential to establishing a shared vision for priorities, evaluation, partnerships, and resources.
