Narrative Strategy for Nonprofits and Mission-Driven Organizations
We help nonprofits and other mission-driven organizations make sense of change, clarify their purpose, and move forward.
What We Do
When familiar approaches stop working, finding direction begins with understanding. We help leaders and teams explore their experiences, question assumptions, and uncover what matters—and what needs to change.
That understanding shapes the work that follows, from strategic planning and fundraising to communications, marketing, and website development.
How Narrative Strategy Works
The stories people carry shape how they understand their work, relate to others, and make decisions.
Through dialogue, we bring those stories into view and develop shared understanding that can guide action.

Understanding Your Organization
We explore how people understand your purpose, where perspectives differ, and what those differences reveal. Together, we develop direction that reflects the experiences and commitments of the people doing the work.
Understanding a Changing World
AI is changing how we work, communicate, and make decisions. It can bring substantial value to research, planning, and creative work. Dialogue helps ensure that what we create with it reflects your organization’s priorities, practical realities, and human judgment.

Narrative Strategy Shapes Decisions
A clear organizational narrative helps leaders decide what to pursue, what to decline, and how to explain the tradeoffs behind their choices.
A Case for Dialogue
RPL’s Rowan Wilson explores how interviews become dialogue, helping people feel heard and discover the stories behind their work in the age of AI.
Why Campaigns Fail Before the Ask
A case for support can be written in a week. A shared understanding cannot. That gap is where campaigns quietly fail.
You may be navigating a transition, reconsidering your direction, or struggling to explain work you know matters.
We can help you find clarity and put it into practice.
