Olive Grove Consulting employs a comprehensive range of expertise to enhance an organization's strategy and
operations. We believe organizations are part of "open systems" - in other words, organizations are influenced by
outside factors beyond their control, but they can also influence the outside world. Thus, organizations must be
constantly learning, adjusting, and adapting in order to stay relevant, responsive to changing needs, and
organizationally strong. Our approach is to help organizations develop strategies and design operational systems
that actually work and support greater mission impact.

In addition to helping organizations achieve greater impact, we work with both new and experienced
philanthropists to achieve their own visions in the world.  Whether you are brand new to philanthropy and just
beginning to think about how to “give back” in a way that is meaningful to you, or leading one of the top
foundations in the country, we can support your understanding, strategy, and philanthropic success.

Unlike most firms, we don’t have a “one-size fits all” approach to these challenges – we develop a process and
team that are completely tailored to the unique needs of each client.
