Philanthropy plays a critical role in the social sector and civil society. Pulling from a breadth of experience and deep curiosity, Fio Partners supports funders and their grantees with planning, organizational development, capacity building, and evaluation and research.

Strategic Planning

Increasingly driven by the expectation of community impact, strategic planning for funders involves a multi-faceted information base and decisions. Fio Partners uses an array of data gathering tools to assess community problems, service systems, known solutions, and existing resources. This information creates common ground for engaging stakeholders in defining a theory of change and how to enact it.

Culture & Climate

We are behaviorists. We believe that all behavior can be analyzed and shaped purposefully. As funders seek more effective investments, the roles of their staff and their organizational culture are changing rapidly. We have developed specific services to both understand and help with this transition.
