Giant Squid Group, LLC

Giant Squid Group is a social impact consulting agency that works with start-up and small nonprofits to help them build their fundraising and leadership capacity. We do this through an intersectional feminist and antiracist lens. We’re moms and millennials who believe the nonprofit sector can change the world - but might need some help along the way. 

All of our work is rooted in our core values of integrity, inclusivity, and creativity.   We unequivocally believe DEI must be more than a buzzword in our sector, and that we must be part of creating transformational change that affirms, celebrates, supports, and includes all identities.

Everything we do - from the projects we take on, to how we work as a team - is grounded in social justice and equity, and as a company we are committed to antiracist and community-centered learning.  We use our privilege to promote equity.  We must be part of acknowledging and dismantling harmful systems, and recognize this is a challenging, ongoing, and iterative journey, and that while we will make errors, that failure is part of learning. 

One way we bring equity into our work is through our Pay What You Want pricing model. Not all nonprofits have the same resources, so we don’t want everyone to pay the same price. We want all nonprofits to have access to fundraising practices that help them build stronger communities; center marginalized voices, and work towards transformative change. Our Pay What You Want fee structure ensures we can offer quality programs and invest in our team, while also committing to economic justice. 

We often hear “I don’t know what I don’t know” and we’re here to learn with you.  Most of our nonprofit partners come to us with an immediate fundraising need, and end up staying for years. We can’t wait for you to join us.
