Common Great

Common Great is a woman-owned, woman-led collective that helps nonprofits build forward-looking development and communications practices that innovate and get results. We’re rooted in the fundamentals that have helped over 160 nonprofit clients succeed, but wired to help organizations navigate an ever-changing landscape of digital transformation. We work through a lens of justice, equity, and belonging to help build the power and voice of the communities we and our clients serve.

Common Great customizes our approach based on our clients’ mission, history, impact model, stage of growth, budget, and staff capacity. Our core team works with and consults for multiple nonprofits simultaneously - operating with an iterative culture of teaching and continuous learning that unleashes their ability to succeed after our work together. We constantly test innovative ideas and emerging practices in real-time across all our clients.

Our founder and current team have helped 160+ client nonprofits on 4 continents raise over $65 million. We’ve worked with nonprofits of all size across many mission spaces, including California ChangeLawyers, Childhaven (now Akin), End Well, Futurewise, Gamers Engaged, Girl Scouts of Western Washington, The Holocaust Center for Humanity, the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, International Community Health Systems (ICHS), King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC), Legal Foundation of Washington (LFW), Mary’s Place, Museum of Northwest Art, Program for Early Parent Support (PEPS), Project Angel Food, Rainier Scholars, Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF), Seattle Neighborhood Farmers’ Markets, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Summer Search, The Who We Are Project, and more.

We have a 90–100% remote work model and a very informal working environment that is fun, flexible, and outcome-oriented. As a white-led organization, Common Great is keen to continue to build equity and inclusion into our practices, including ensuring that our strategy as a company and the work we do with clients is filtered through a lens of equity, social justice, accountability, and community-centric fundraising.
