SERVICES

Groundswell specializes in:

Philanthropy Support Services

Whether you’re an individual seeking guidance for your personal philanthropic efforts or a foundation or advised fund needing strategic support, we offer extensive experience gathering and analyzing data, related to your areas of interest as well as developing and implementing effective programs and giving strategies tailored to your goals.

Facilitation and Mediation

Navigating complex discussions and resolving conflicts while fostering collaboration, driving consensus, and enhancing organizational effectiveness is our specialty. Whether you’re planning a board meeting, a strategic planning session, or a community engagement event, our facilitators bring a neutral and skilled approach to guide the process and achieve your desired outcomes.

Participatory Research and Analysis

Information gathering initiatives designed to harness the collective wisdom and diverse perspectives of your constituents. Unlike traditional forums where topics are often predetermined by external entities we design materials and events that empower participants to set the agenda, driving dialogue on issues that matter most to them.

Leadership Coaching

Our tailored coaching services blend strategic insights, leadership development, and practical tools to elevate your organization’s effectiveness and sustainability. Together, we’ll enhance your leadership capabilities, strengthen your team, amplify your nonprofit impact drive and create lasting, meaningful change from the inside out.

Strategic Planning

There is no one single way to plan for growth and change. Designing a planning process unique to the individual mission and needs of clients is core to our work. Together we will build a thoughtful and detailed plan informed by your constituents that addresses current realities, examines opportunities and aligns with the resources needed to bring it to fruition.
