The Approach

Start with intentionality & care…

Both are critical pillars in KASAMA’s work. To that end, KASAMA operates as an extension of your team, seamlessly immersed into your organization. Serving as fractional capacity, KASAMA partners with organizations in vision setting, systems development & integration, and strategy & implementation.

… and refine through the lens of iterative resilience.

The ebb and flow of running nonprofits are difficult enough. Iterative Resilience is a design strategy KASAMA employs, closely partnering with stakeholders to realize an end goal that is mission aligned and sustainable.
