Colibri Consulting Group is a social-justice consulting firm serving as a resource in propelling the work of liberatory movements and the leaders who dream of a world where we can all thrive.
What We Do
Our work spans a range of sectors and issues and is informed by an intersectional analysis of systemic inequities and structural racism. We partner with organizations that actively work to dismantle these fractured systems and shift power to systems-affected communities, promote self-determination, and nurture the environments that advance the efforts of movement leaders and change agents working on the frontlines of social change.
-
We ground ourselves in a practice that promotes inclusion and ensures that all voices are heard and honored. We work with our partners to re-energize their organizations, engage their board, staff, funders, and constituents meaningfully, and build a plan to enhance their long-term strategic direction.
-
Philanthropy is a crucial component to achieving a justice and liberated future. We believe that the power of organized money is pivotal to building organized movements. We apply a trust-based and participatory model of philanthropy to help donors strategically invest in grassroots advocacy work led by and supporting communities pushed to the margins.
-
Leadership coaching offers a highly customized development experience for movement leaders and change agents operating on the frontline of social change. We utilize an empathetic leadership model that allows us to work with partners to break down issues, guide a process of transformation, and serve as an accountability partner for achieving goals.
-
We believe the urgency and complexity of the problems movement leaders and grantmakers try to solve demand that we come together to mutually exchange knowledge and insights from our work and combine resources. We design and facilitate convenings to serve as powerful vehicles for amassing shared knowledge, building trusting relationships, and laying the groundwork for collective action.
-
We lead collaborative learning labs for movement leaders and practitioners guided by the belief that a dual team-based approach to leadership and deep-diving into individual leadership development are crucial for success, as the mark of effective leadership is not an individual who “does it all” but rather a full leadership team that can fuel high performance over the long haul.
-
Coalition management is a powerful way to advance mutual objectives and transform communities. We utilize a development model that unites multiple organizations and partners of interest to form collaborative goals and strategies to achieve their collective interest.
