c3 Catalyst is love-centered consulting for personal and collective liberation.
Interbeing as practice.
Nothing in this work exists alone. Fundraising is racial equity work is spiritual work is movement work. They are one practice, drawn from converging streams: Community-Centric Fundraising, Kingian Nonviolence, and the Plum Village tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh.
Relational resource development.
Money moves where trust moves. The real work is building the culture, strategy, and relationships that let resources flow toward the communities doing liberation work.
Community-centered fundraising.
Centering communities over donors. Honoring the people closest to the work as the experts they are. Building a sector worthy of the movements it funds.
Kingian Nonviolence training.
Transmitted directly from the late Dr. Bernard LaFayette, Jr. infused throughout every engagement.
Deep nonprofit sector understanding.
Fractional development leadership. Grant strategy. Board and staff facilitation. Strategy and change management. Individual and team coaching. Short sprints and long partnerships.
