Consultation
One of Iris Krieg & Associate’s two divisions, Consultation, utilizes our expertise to solve a problem, conduct studies and evaluations, and assist in the planning and implementation of a task or an initiative. We can investigate potential funding areas and provide criteria to help donors, trustees and staff select an approach that fits their interests. We have broad experience both in the processes of contributions and in many issue areas, including human services, arts/culture, environmental concerns, public education and public housing.
We are particularly effective in situations where participants differ in their approaches and values. We provide opportunities to air differences, explore options and find common ground.

IKA works closely with clients to define the Consultation, develop a work plan, set a time frame and specify outcomes and products. Among the Consultations that IKA offers are:
  • Exploring and recommending issues to fund
  • Developing procedures for a new contributions program
  • Revising an existing contributions program
  • Developing guidelines
  • Designing new initiatives
  • Evaluating individual agencies, grants programs, foundation procedures and special initiatives
  • Conducting feasibility studies
  • Creating planning processes
  • Planning and facilitating trustee/board/staff retreats
  • Conducting trustee/board/staff education
