Practical, accessible HR partnership for mission-driven nonprofits.

Built for real-world complexity and designed to support the people behind the mission.

How we work with Nonprofits

We understand the emotional weight of leading in a mission environment and offer steady, senior guidance through complex people decisions.

  • Steady HR support when things feel reactive or heavy.

    We help with:

    • Compliance and policy guidance

    • Employee relations and sensitive conversations

    • Hiring and compensation structure

    • Manager coaching and support

    • Performance conversations

    • Real-time guidance when issues arise

    This is practical, grounded HR support — without adding bureaucracy.

  • With a strong foundation, we’ll help create clarity that lasts.

    • Clear decision-making norms

    • Stronger manager expectations

    • Values translated into daily practice

    • Communication during funding or program shifts

    • Consistency across roles and teams

    The goal isn’t more process, it’s more clarity.

  • When growth, funding shifts, or leadership transitions are ahead:

    • Organizational design refinement

    • Leadership development facilitation

    • Learning and development sessions

    • Succession clarity

    • Strategic workforce planning

    We help you grow without losing the integrity of your mission.

  • You partner directly with:

    • An I/O psychologist and former Chief People Officer

    • A senior employee relations expert and leadership development coach

    • Their team of specialists for ad-hoc projects

    No handoffs. No generic playbooks.

What makes this different

Lead with Clarity

We bring senior judgment to everyday HR realities — from difficult conversations to funding shifts — so decisions feel steady, not reactive.

Understand the Emotional Weight

Mission-driven leadership is personal. When people decisions affect work you care deeply about, they carry extra weight. We help you navigate those moments with support and perspective.

Strengthen What Supports Your Team

Beyond handling issues, we help clarify expectations, steady communication, and reduce friction over time.

Stay Practical

We handle real HR needs — compliance guidance, employee relations, manager support — while keeping your people systems aligned with your mission.
