      <image:title>Home - Why GATHER with us?</image:title>
      <image:caption>We engage philanthropists, CEOs and board members who have the resources and passion to create change with community-based organizations—educators, organizers, and activists—who are vying to get their needs heard. One recent client compared our work to that of “community organizing for funders.” Gather Consulting is a creative community lab—a physical and virtual co-working space—where educators, organizers, and activists come together to connect, learn &amp; grow. Our work is grounded in emergent thinking and generative leadership, and we lean into our imagination, creativity, and equity in our collective work. In addition, imagination is more important than you may think and central to the work we do. Gather Consulting believes communal change happens when people across discipline and sector come together to engage in the messy work of planning, strategy, and implementation. Distributing power between funders and nonprofits brings diverse perspectives to the table that leads to more innovative, sustainable pathways.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Coaching</image:title>
      <image:caption>Governance Coaching. Seth coaches executives and board chairs on all issues related to their boards. This may involve expanding their board, on-boarding new board members, drafting governance documents, or working with a board on specific areas of learning and change. Development Coaching. Seth assists executives with certain fundraising needs, including strategy, identifying donor prospects, building skills and confidence to prepare for meetings, and thinking critically about how to frame business plans with potential funders.  Executive Coaching. Seth offers management coaching to help executives address specific challenges. This may involve developing their leadership style, project and time management concerns, equity in the workplace, going from in-person to virtual programming, and executive transitions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Philanthropic Advising</image:title>
      <image:caption>Philanthropy is an incredibly gratifying and overwhelming experience. Seth offers strategic advising and coaching to assist philanthropists in how they give. He discusses philanthropic goals and offers suggestions for organizations and causes based on their interests and what other funders are doing. With his own experience working in a large foundation, running a nonprofit, and working across the educational and Jewish communal fields, Seth has a strong network and broad perspective on effective philanthropic methods. He assists philanthropists in managing their volunteer work, planning for board meetings, working on governance strategy and developing systems and processes for their philanthropic needs. I aim to fully support philanthropists to maximize their communal impact.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Services - Strategic Planning</image:title>
      <image:caption>Organizations and networks can only move forward if they understand the roots of their challenges and potential opportunities. They must be able to step back and look at the data of their operations, talk with their stakeholders, and reflect on their vision before coming up with new solutions. To do this effectively, Seth creates landscape maps, conducts interviews, synthesizes research, and convenes focus groups to create theories of change and strategic initiatives for organizational movements. Seth creates the space for collective impact opportunities with organizations and communities to work together, facilitate greater discussions, and expand their social circles for greater impact.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Past Work - Gather Consulting's Creative Community Lab focuses on philanthropy, leadership, and racial equity.</image:title>
      <image:caption>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.</image:caption>
