What We Do

 

Covening Organizations

From pulling together international religious freedom roundtables in Bahrain and Sudan, to helping launch the Abrahamic Faiths Initiative with the US Department of State, Mark has broad experience in pulling stakeholders together with a common goal.

Strategic Partnerships

One of Mark’s greatest strengths is putting together government, religious and secular leaders with a common goal around equity or justice.  Often getting these different groups to the same table for a discussion is the best first step.

Faith Based Impacts

From leading USAID’s participation in the Vatican’s first ever impact investing conference, to sparking and funding the coalition or organizations that brought together over 300 religious and community leaders from all over Africa, Mark has deep experience in making these targeted actions successful -- that lead to effective action. We help governments, private sector actors, community organization and religious institutions effectively act.
