Roadmap Social Justice Consulting Inc

What it reported doing in 2025

Roadmap provides high-quality, low-cost capacity-building support to non-profit organizations and philanthropic institutions. Roadmap provided customized and holistic capacity-building support to 20 organizations throughout the country in 2025. In this aspect of our work, organizations come through our intake process and are matched with a member (s) of our highly skilled consultant network. A scope of work that has been mutually agreed upon between the organization and the consultant is implemented over a series of months or years. Organizations pay for these services from their organizational budget. Roadmap also provides capacity-building support to cohorts of grantees funded by various foundations. Throughout 2025 we supported 6 philanthropic foundations which allowed us to provide direct capacity building support to 57 grantee partners. Organizations do not pay directly for these services. They receive grants from sponsoring foundations to fund the work so that they have access to capacity-building support without having to spend their own organizational resources on these services. Lastly, another aspect of our work to strengthen organizations and leaders is to provide comprehensive training and skills building. During this time period, roadmap provided training on various aspects of organization building and strengthening to 85 individuals representing dozens of organizations. Throughout any given year, roadmap provides capacity-building support to literally hundreds of organizations to strengthen both their infrastructure and their impact.
