Mission
KHA stewards equitable systems and institutional change that narrows disparities experienced by populations that are marginalized, notably for their racial and ethnic identities. Building on its 25-year track record, the firm engages decision-makers and influencers to disrupt their patterns that reinforce inequities and to change the status quo in a way that creates a just society of infinite possibilities for good.
Vision
By 2030, KHA is the firm of reference for social impact and multi-sector systems change. It convenes decision-makers and influencers to navigate complex processes, builds strategy from population and primary data, and tailors solutions to the unique circumstances presented.
From Our founder
We go slow to go fast, while keeping it moving. Stewarding change to mobilize money towards Black and Brown led organizations … this equity-focused work isn’t done in a day. Or even a year. This is long term, evolutionary work. But it’s always worth it. It all starts with a willingness to get curious, be in relationship, and letting conviction open up the path. It also takes solid organizational development, facilitation, program management, and research and evaluation!
