Our Mission
“The origin of the word philanthropy is to love humankind. We’re here to remind you of that, again and again.”
Why Connection Collaborative?
We've spent over two decades working with organizations and philanthropists. When we look back, every experience - whether fundraising, strategic planning, board governance, staff training, and more - was effective when fueled by authentic connections between people who care about their work. It is in that act of collaborating, together, that we find our most meaningful success.
We'd love to connect with you and collaborate on something special.
Our Vision
“To connect people and organizations to their best selves and highest purpose.”
What we believe
People don’t give to organizations,
they give through them.
We work more than we do anything else in this life — let’s make it time well spent.
Philanthropic cultures grow and thrive when they are tended.
What We Value
AUTHENTICITY
Everyone wants to be seen, heard and valued and we cannot do that for others until we do it for ourselves. When we are honest about who we are (as individuals and as organizations), we open up possibilities we didn’t know were available.
INTEGRITY
Integrity is both a bridge and a ladder. When we honor our promises, explain our difficulties, and share our dreams, we create opportunities for human empathy and understanding.
CONNECTION
Human connection is the most powerful engine in the universe. Changemakers, nonprofit leaders, fundraisers and philanthropists know this at their core. And they are at their best when they collaborate to serve others.
