Our team

Hedgehog + Fox Collaborative is built on the idea that nonprofit leaders shouldn’t have to figure everything out alone.

Our work is grounded in thoughtful partnership. We listen carefully, ask good questions, and help organizations move from uncertainty to clarity, whether that means strengthening leadership, shaping strategy, or sharing the stories that inspire people to support the mission.

Behind this work is a small but mighty team that brings deep experience in nonprofit leadership, strategy, and communications.

How We Work

Every nonprofit organization is different. So every engagement we take on is a little different, too.

What stays the same is how we approach the work.

we listen

Understanding your organization–its mission, its people, and its aspirations– is the foundation for everything that follows. The best solutions often begin with a moment of reflection: stepping back from the day-to-day work to consider what matters most and what comes next.

we focus on practical outcomes

Whether we’re helping your organization clarify strategy, strengthen leadership, or communicate your story, our goal is always the same: to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

we are partners

At Hedgehog + Fox Collaborative, we see ourselves as partners in your work– people who bring experience, perspective, and a steady hand when things feel complicated.
