Cause Effective has transformed nonprofits by partnering with mission-driven leaders to achieve social change. We worked with leadership to develop, employ, and expand effective fundraising, governance and organizational strategies to advance equity and justice.
Cause Effective envisions a future in which nonprofits thrive with empowered leadership and abundant funding to achieve an equitable world.
The following values guided our work:
- Self-Determination: We believed that communities, and the organizations that serve them, have the right and ability to define and direct their own destinies.
- Integrity: We approached our work with honesty, respect for the individual, and high ethical standards.
- Commitment: We worked in service of the organization’s mission and people, while putting the best interests of the organization first.
- Diversity: We intentionally and proactively sought diversity in the groups that we serve.
- Flexibility: We met our clients where they were, facilitating a group process that is individualized, customized, and of their own making.
- Empowerment: We aimed to build skills that lasted beyond our engagement and helped our partners to achieve long-term impact.
