Past Work

Gather Consulting's **Creative Community Lab** focuses on philanthropy, leadership, and racial equity.

We work with nonprofit CEOs, foundations and board chairs. Our work is mostly coaching, facilitation, advising, and project management. Our content is focused on preK-12 education, Jewish community, and board governance. Our interest is to have a few creative projects brewing at any one time, such as BoardTalks or Community Gathering. We are currently working on a podcast, Faith in Philanthropy, and BoardRetreat, an in-person gathering for board members.
