Blueprint for Belonging™ – VIP Day ($4,500)

For institutional change-agents who influence policy, but navigate red tape.
You know your university, city department, or foundation can serve communities more equitably—yet bureaucracy stalls every bold idea. Blueprint for Belonging gives you a focused, four-hour design lab to break gridlock and design policy pathways that welcome everyone.

Why you need this

  • to translate community input & lived experience into actionable language that executives and boards respect.
  • to prioritize projects—bridges, archives, public spaces—that invite connection rather than displace.
  • to move from “diversity statements” to measurable milestones that showcase belonging in action.

What happens
A facilitated session with (up to 3) high-influence team members, we:

  1. Identify values and align collective intent
  2. Audit existing policies through an equity lens
  3. Craft a 90-day influence map and engagement roadmap

Outcome

A 90-day tactical roadmap, talking points for senior leadership, and a clear set of equity KPIs—so your next funding cycle, capital plan, or archival project centers belonging from day one.

Move Money with Joy – VIP Day ($7,500)

For wealth-holders & grant-makers ready to repair what extraction has taken.

You sit on resources that could shift futures—yet traditional philanthropy feels slow, transactional, even harmful. Move Money with Joy is a private, five-hour strategy intensive for decision-makers who crave a liberating relationship with their capital.

Why you need this

  • to unpack the hidden narratives that keep money locked in cycles of guilt or optics and choose a path of shared power and decision making.
  • to identify the precise communities—Indigenous, immigrant, Black women, and more—where reparative redistribution can spark generational change now.
  • to leave “charity thin zones” behind and step into joyful stewardship.

What happens
A facilitated session with up to three decision-makers (i.e. parents, family members, program officers), we:

  1. Surface money stories & shared values
  2. Map wealth sources and community possibilities
  3. Design a 12-month action blueprint that feels energizing and doable

Outcome
Walk out with a values-aligned giving plan, strategies for identifying transfer recipients, and an internal compass that says, “Yes—this is what our money is meant to do.”
