Civic Consulting Services
Over the years, the Mediators Foundation has served as a convener in the field of collaborative leadership and civic innovation—bringing together a remarkable network of thought leaders and changemakers with diverse expertise. Building on our long legacy of having partnered with foundations, philanthropists, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and even Congress to strengthen democracy, we are excited to launch a new consulting initiative that channels our mission of advancing the greater good into actionable service, with help from experts across the spectrum.
Led by seasoned consultants who have founded and grown successful firms, this effort will focus on supporting leaders, organizations, and communities working at the intersection of bridge-building, civic innovation, democratic renewal, and collaborative leadership.
A consulting home for the Civic Ecosystem
We are looking for 10 to 15 consultants to build this with us. Whether you are toward the beginning of your consulting journey or a principal level consultant, we welcome you to apply. Note: We are not offering employment, and expect consultants to keep their own personal brands, should they have them. What we are offering is an opportunity to partner together, to cobrand with the longstanding reputation of Mediators Foundation, and to build community. Interested consultants should fill out the form ASAP.
Our team of advisors draw from decades of experience in project design and strategy, informed by familiarity of what makes projects fail and succeed in diverse areas of social change work. With our personalized guidance, social entrepreneurs are assisted in articulating their project’s vision and mission in a way that is most effective to garner traction with potential partners and funders. We offer various levels of brainstorming, editing, and feedback to project proposals, budgets, and other organizational materials. Building upon this refinement, our consultants can aid in identifying action steps and establishing realistic timelines for projects to achieve their goals.
Together with our partners, we offer deep expertise in:
Facilitation & Collaborative Processes
Project Design & Development
Monitoring & Evaluation
Strategic Visioning & Planning
Fundraising & Grant writing
Marketing & Communication
Leadership Training & Workshops
Storytelling & Narrative Change
