Comprehensive Health Equity Consulting Services

We partner with community-based organizations, government agencies, and healthcare facilities throughout California that are committed to advancing health equity. We particularly value working with organizations serving communities of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, low-income populations, and other groups disproportionately affected by health disparities. From grassroots CBOs to large health systems, we tailor our approach to meet each organization's unique needs and context.

Every engagement begins with a comprehensive needs assessment involving leadership, staff, and community stakeholders. Through structured interviews, organizational review, and community input gathering, we develop a customized approach that aligns with your specific challenges, opportunities, resources, and cultural context. This collaborative process ensures solutions are both effective and sustainable for your unique situation.

Project timelines typically range from 3-12 months, depending on scope and complexity. During our initial consultation, we'll develop a realistic timeline that aligns with your goals, resources, and any external deadlines. We offer flexible engagement options, from focused short-term projects addressing specific challenges to ongoing strategic partnerships through our retainer model.

Our partnership process is designed to be straightforward and responsive:

1. Complimentary Consultation: 30-minute strategic conversation to explore your needs
2. Customized Proposal: Detailed recommendation with services, deliverables, timeline, and investment
3. Agreement & Launch: Contract finalization and project kickoff with clear expectations
4. Ongoing Partnership: Regular communication, progress monitoring, and adaptive support

We offer three primary service packages designed to accommodate different organizational needs and budgets:

• Premium Package: $10,000-$20,000 (Comprehensive strategic transformation)
• Partnership Package: $2,500-$5,000/month (Ongoing strategic support and capacity building)

Each package can be customized based on your specific goals, timeline, and available resources. We're committed to finding solutions that maximize impact within your budget constraints.

Having worked across these diverse regions, we bring authentic understanding of California's varied communities and their unique challenges. Services are delivered through strategic combination of virtual and in-person engagement to maximize both effectiveness and accessibility.

Yes, staff training and organizational capacity building are core components of our services. We offer customized workshops and ongoing development in cultural humility & DEI, leadership development, program implementation, community engagement, and evaluation & data. All training is tailored to your organization's specific needs and can be delivered in-person, virtually, or through hybrid approaches.

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive grant writing support and have demonstrated success managing multi-million dollar initiatives. Services include proposal development, budget creation, funding strategy, and compliance & reporting. Grant writing support is included in Premium and Partnership packages, with additional specialized support available as needed.

Community engagement is fundamental to our approach. Every project begins with community input collection through forums, focus groups, or individual conversations. We establish ongoing mechanisms for community feedback throughout our partnership and never make recommendations without understanding community perspectives and priorities. Our role is to facilitate authentic community leadership rather than impose external solutions.

We're committed to making health equity consulting accessible to organizations of all sizes. Options for budget-conscious organizations include phased implementation, group training to share costs, incorporating consulting into grant proposals, and limited sliding scale consideration for mission-aligned organizations. Let's discuss your situation during our complimentary consultation to explore creative solutions.
