Sustainable Economies helps nonprofit organizations get to what matters most through strategic planning, branding and communications, and applied research.
Since 2019, Sustainable Economies has helped dozens of nonprofit leaders define their strategic direction, measure success, and communicate their impact. Because our approach is deeply rooted in collaboration, we engage audiences early and regularly, resulting in strategies that resonate with communities and funders. Many nonprofit clients have reported an ability to tap into new funding sources after working with our team.
Who We Help
Sustainable Economies helps nonprofits working on hard-to-solve challenges facing communities and ecosystems. Often, nonprofits reach out to us because they’ve experienced rapid growth and, because of that success, have struggled to communicate their work to funders while juggling many projects.
We help teams prioritize high-impact, aligned strategies and develop messaging around how those strategies contribute to your mission. While we often work with mid-sized to large nonprofit organizations, we offer customized packages to smaller nonprofits as well.
Past clients have included local land trusts, national conservation nonprofits, natural history museums and botanical gardens, watershed organizations, and nature centers.
