How Can We Meet Your Needs

EP Strategies collaborates across a range of issue areas and types of stakeholders by:

• Communicating research for action through data collection, analyses, and written products and presentations.  This may include advising the measurement and evaluation of public policy, systems change, grantmaking and/or integration of community engagement.

• Listening to your stakeholders, synthesizing themes, and articulating priorities to inform the direction of your work.

• Supporting your grantmaking processes or evaluation, communicating with interested applicants, evaluating grant proposals, and supporting your review process to meet your philanthropic mission.

• Amplifying voices that are underrepresented, oppressed, or systemically excluded.

• Providing collaborative thought partnership on program development and implementation.

• Putting your vision into action through management of multi-faceted programs, campaigns, or learning cohorts.

• Collaborating with you to build your policy advocacy, organizing and lobbying impact.

• Deepening the engagement of folks most directly impacted by your work.

• Delivering interactive policy advocacy training to demystify the policymaking process.

• Using an equity, anti-racist, trust-based and intersectional approach. This begins at the individual level where I engage in my own, ongoing, internal work and growth.
