Bridging Expertise, Evidence, and Equity to Build Lasting Leadership.
We empower organizations in philanthropy and public policy to lead, innovate, and drive systems change. Led by Johanna Ulloa Girón—a bilingual policy strategist with over twenty years’ experience and current doctoral research in philanthropic policy evaluation—we close the gap between complex social needs and equitable, measurable outcomes.
We design practical, research-backed capacity-building solutions that are accessible, results-driven, and built for real-world impact.
