Who We Are

We are data, tech, and operations experts who bring decades of of nonprofit leadership and consulting experience to bear. Our fluency in the needs and nuances of nonprofits allows us to serve as translators, facilitators, and storytellers, helping organizations bridge the strategic gap between where they are and where they want to be. We thrive at the nexus of progressive missions, the humans who love them, and the tools they use to change the world.

We are proudly Queer-owned.

OUR NETWORK

Our Equity Commitments

Skeleton Key Strategies is committed to the principles of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility, Justice, and Belonging in both philosophy and action. As a Queer-owned business, we work with progressive clients who contribute to solutions at the intersection of multiple vectors of equity and justice – racial, gender, disability, sexual identity and expression, reproductive, economic, environmental, animal, etc. – and strive to live up to our obligations as allies and advocates, both on and off the clock.

As a company, we make regular contributions to Black- and Indigenous-led causes in the U.S., and mandate ongoing professional EDI education for our consultants who are not part of the Global Majority.
