Smallholding is a consulting practice, focused on improved outcomes for people and their communities.
We have deep strategy and leadership experience developed at the intersection of the education, philanthropy, and non-profit sectors.
Our home base is the District of Columbia, and our range is national.
We advise individuals and organizations large and small to gain, wisely invest, and direct the resources (credibility, time, talent, information, capital) they need to drive forward. We build capacity in others to do the same.

How We Work

How We Work
Trusting interpersonal relationship is the foundation of our consulting work.
Whether we're coaching an individual or advising an organization, we respect that we've been invited to be a part of their community.
We check in regularly with clients. We strive to understand context, hopes and dreams, and motivations. We're loyal to our clients. We are honest with our clients. We always do our best--and We do what we say we're going to do.
We believe (like adrienne maree brown) that small is all--that the quality of our working relationships will translate at scale to quality of outcomes for clients and the communities they serve.
A smallholding is a small farm that cultivates a small quantity of crops with great care and quality. Our aim is to do the same.
