关于我们
WolfBrown helps funders, nonprofit institutions and public agencies understand their potential, set priorities and fulfill their promise. While arts and culture is a focus of our work, we also serve important clients in the social service, health, environment, preservation, and other sectors. At the heart of our work is the belief that every human being has a unique creative voice of intrinsic worth and that every community has a responsibility to awaken, nurture, and sustain its cultural capital. These and other core values drive everything that we do, from research and evaluation to strategic planning. The guiding philosophy of our work is engagement – engaging nonprofit leadership, their funders, and stakeholders in honest discussions about effectiveness and value, engaging audiences and visitors in deeper and more meaningful experiences, and engaging whole communities in the bold act of envisioning their future.
