Who We Work With
Three audiences. One mission.
We work across the ecosystem - training nonprofits, partnering with government, and advising philanthropy - because lasting change requires all three.
Government & Institutions
You need programs that work at scale with measurable outcomes. Our Sustainability by Design cohort takes grassroots nonprofits from startup to grant-ready, and it's built to be funded by municipalities, foundations, and membership associations.

Philanthropy & Funders
Your investment goes further when it reaches the people who know their communities best. We help you retool grant-making and build pipelines to grassroots organization.

Cross-sector leadership experience
Why Libby V & Associates
Cross-sector experience.
Community-first approach.
Libby Villavicencio has led programs across government, higher education, corporate philanthropy, and the nonprofit sector. She's facilitated multi-organization cohorts for Columbus City Council, trained grassroots nonprofits to secure millions in grants, and advised foundations on community investment strategy.
That range matters. Government and institutional partners get a consultant who understands procurement, scale, and accountability. Foundations get someone who knows how dollars translate to impact on the ground. And nonprofits get a partner who's been in their shoes - and knows the systems they're navigating.
● Proven at institutional scale
● Measurable outcomes focus
● Cross-sector fluency
● Community-led philosophy
