pfc is a consultancy that helps people and organizations with money, time, and vision do good. Our clients are foundations, individuals, impact investors, corporations, governments, and intermediaries at the leading edge of social change. Doing good doesn't come easily these days, especially when tackling complex problems. It can get messy. It will be hard. But creative solutions can be found. pfc was created by a team of colleagues who believe that the world's wicked problems are the problems most worth solving. They are the issues that keep everyone around the world up at night—poverty and income disparity, food and water scarcity, climate change and energy shortages. They are also the issues that are borne most heavily by those who are most vulnerable—women, children, and their families. We believe that partnership and collaboration across disciplines will yield the greatest hope for solving our greatest challenges. The learning & innovation lab is a way to foster with intention this type of cross-generational, cross-sector exchange of ideas and actions. We believe effective change begins at a leadership level when change agents exhibit several characteristics in addressing complex problems: We offer: strategic planning and assessment; trendsetting research; strategic learning and evaluation; teaching and coaching for change. More importantly, our work is shaped by the people who are at the core of social investments—they tell their own story of needs and change.
