Our Mission:
Disrupt.
We collaborate with community leaders to advance change by leveraging an abundance of resources towards more equitable communities.
Our Call to Action
As justice philanthropy pioneers:
- We demand the dismantling of the Non Profit Industrial Complex
- We denounce donor-centered fundraising in favor of a community-centered fundraising model.
- We call for a radical redistribution of wealth.
- We work with the community to co-create the conditions needed to self-organize, directly control the power and money, and ultimately achieve equitable outcomes and a sense of belonging.

Our Clients
Our clients are disruptors. They approach their work through a social justice lens. They aren’t satisfied with the status quo. They propose bold solutions to big problems facing our city. We’re proud to support them on that journey.
Our Services
At Gladiator Consulting, we believe that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to working with nonprofit organizations. We take a client-centered, holistic approach. We work with you to understand what needs are most pressing, and uncover root cause of an issue that needs to be addressed, rather than wasting time and resources tackling a mere symptom of a problem. We don’t dance around issues. We approach them head-on with brutal honesty and compassionate problem-solving.
Capacity Building
Capacity building projects may include, fundraising, volunteer recruitment, identifying a communications strategy, ensuring thoughtful leadership succession, and improving how you measures outcomes to build capacity to effectively deliver your mission.
Strategic Planning
Gladiator guides our clients identify strategies that will best enable you to achieve your mission. We will engage your board and staff in the process to help them become committed to measurable goals, prioritize implementation, and commit to revisiting the organization’s strategies on a regular basis.
Executive Coaching
A Gladiator executive coach is a qualified professional who works with your leaders to help them gain self-awareness, clarify goals, achieve development objectives, unlock their potential, and act as a sounding board. We ask questions to help executives clarify and solve their own problems.
External Relations
Our consultants help you reach and connect with your constituencies. In doing so, specific projects might include, creating partnerships, planning/facilitating community forums, developing and implementing communications plans, reputation management, and creating advisory community committees.
