Advisors

One of the guiding principles of our work is that the voices of all stakeholders must be at the table if we are going to achieve our mission. We've always embraced silo-busting dialogue. Thus our work has benefitted from the ideas, lived experiences, input, and wisdom of many colleagues from across the social sector (and beyond), including nonprofit leaders, intermediary organizations, and philanthropic funders. With gratitude, we recognize below some of our "co-creators" who sat on our Advisory Council during the initial phase of our work (2014-2019).
