About us
Building capacity for change.
Do you envision a world where communities have the agency and capability to define and address problems in an equitable way? We do too. To make this a reality, we collaborate and guide communities in learning and improving services, systems, and structures for equitable social change. Established in 2016, Elevate Consulting is a full-service firm serving nonprofits, collaborative groups, foundations, and municipalities seeking to impact their communities. We believe that human connection, learning, and achievable action strengthens communities.

Values
Learning
We believe learning is critical for change, and we build spaces where people can engage in deep, meaningful learning.
Relationships + Collaboration
We build trust, cultivate respect, and work alongside communities to create social change.
Equity + Justice
We recognize the power dynamics inherent in our work. We push back on inequitable structures when we see them, we challenge our partners to critically examine their power, and we commit to challenging our own power and privilege.
Systems Thinking
We understand that social change is complex, interconnected, and constantly evolving, and we use approaches that embrace that complexity.
Professional Excellence
We strive to provide excellent, responsive, rigorous, and professional services that are highly relevant within local contexts. We hold each other accountable to continually learning and improving our craft.
Accessibility + Use
We believe in data and strategies that are useful, accessible, applicable, and actionable, and we use specific tools and frameworks to ensure the relevance of our work.
Passion
We do this work because we believe in it and because we enjoy it. We aim to share that energy in every interaction.
