Your Community Has The Answers. We Help You Uncover Them.

Strategy starts with listening. At Elevation Strategies, we begin by understanding your vision and the voices of the people you serve. We help you assess whether your next project or campaign truly meets their needs, and we build thoughtful, inclusive strategies that are focused, efficient, and rooted in impact. Whether it’s the case for a support for a capital campaign, a strategic filter to provide structure in turbulent times, or a program plan to expand your impact, we work with you and your community to focus your efforts where they will get results.

Our Approach

We ground our work in the principles of community engagement–designing strategy and building systems around what your nonprofit’s community identifies as its greatest needs. We take a strengths-based approach to the work we do, beginning with what’s already working well and finding ways to build on that success. Our role is to ask the right questions, listen deeply, and co-create a plan around what we hear. 

We might be a good fit for your organization if:

  • You believe in the wisdom of those you serve

  • You want to create buy-in by listening to your partners’ and supporters’ hopes and dreams for your organization

  • You also value empowerment, authenticity, and growth 

  • You want a clear path forward for your organization, one that you know your community will champion because they helped shape it
