Let’s turn ‘what if’ into ‘what is’

What if you could make the most of your time, resources and team while advancing your mission? Now you can with Kathleen McCarthy Consulting.

Strategy Development

Strategy development is about choices – and it’s easier to make choices with the right information. 

Through strategic planning, environmental assessments, and stakeholder engagement, we help organizations gain a better understanding of their landscape. Together, we identify strategic opportunities, articulate short- and long-term goals, and design comprehensive frameworks for measuring progress against established goals.  

Our insights will lead to better governance conversations, reveal the right opportunities, and ultimately support more informed decisions. The result is a strategy aligned with your mission that uses your resources effectively and includes measurable goals everyone can get behind.

Are you actively involved in CalAIM or similar Medi-Cal initiatives?

We partner with organizations to design, implement and navigate the complexities of these transformative initiatives.

Program Development

You’ve been awarded a grant or want to implement a new program. Now, it’s time to make your program a reality. 

From initial research and analysis to program design and implementation planning, we work collaboratively with our clients to strategically craft initiatives that address community and organizational needs.  

Our services go beyond program design by fully managing the implementation of your program. Together we’ll create a comprehensive project plan that includes stakeholder engagement, workflow development, and the right metrics to ensure you are meeting grant and/or regulatory requirements. 

You can trust us to keep your program on track, while keeping you informed and engaged in the process.

Grantmaking

Need to develop or refine your grantmaking focus areas, strategies or programs? New to grantmaking/philanthropy and seeking assistance in developing processes for managing grants? Grantmaking holds significant potential for making a lasting impact, but the process can be complex.

We offer a range of grantmaking services and can guide you on everything from strategy development to operations. We help organizations define their grantmaking investment priorities, research grantmaking strategies, advise on program development, formulate funding guidelines, and design grantmaking processes. We can support you in developing a measurement framework or a Theory of Change to clarify your grantmaking objectives and outcomes and evaluate your grantmaking efforts.  

Together we’ll lay the foundation for grantmaking programs that will make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
