We help mission-driven organizations and funders strengthen the architecture behind their impact. From strategy refinement and learning frameworks to donor alignment and movement infrastructure, our support is designed to connect vision to execution—ethically, clearly, and sustainably. Whether you’re co-creating a program, coordinating across coalitions, or assessing your long-term effectiveness, we bring the strategic insight, tools, and care to help you evolve with purpose and coherence.

Fund Design

Money is never neutral—it either reinforces extraction or redistributes power. At DOO U, we design funding systems and grant portfolios that reflect your values, honor your stakeholders, and build long-term resilience. Our approach ensures that every pound, dollar or rand not only funds programs but also strengthens the ecosystems and people behind them.

Fund Design & Strategy Consulting

We help funders and consortia design grantmaking and investment strategies that are transparent, values-aligned, and built for lasting impact.

Too many funds unintentionally replicate the very systems they seek to change — creating bureaucracy, draining grantees, and rewarding survival over innovation. The result?  Underutilized resources, limiting power dynamics and missed opportunities for transformation.

DOO U's Fund Design & Strategy Consulting equips funders to create mechanisms that are accountable, equitable, and catalytic — ensuring resources actually strengthen the ecosystems they serve.

Impact Design

Great ideas don’t change the world on their own—systems do. We help you clarify your impact logic, align your resources to what truly matters, and move from aspiration to measurable, lived change.

Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (M&E) Frameworks

Too many organizations treat M&E as a compliance exercise—collecting reports that satisfy funders but don’t help teams grow. At DOO U, we design M&E systems that are alive: tools that not only measure progress, but also illuminate patterns, surface lessons, and guide adaptation. Our approach ensures that evaluation is not extractive, but regenerative—fueling resilience, innovation, and impact.

Scaling Impact

Supporting organizations through periods of rapid growth and complexity. Growth is a gift—but unmanaged, it can fracture systems, strain people,

SOLID Collaboration Consulting

Collaborations, coalitions, and consortia are powerful—but they are also fragile. Too many are built on excitement and collapse under the weight of misalignment, unclear power dynamics, and operational neglect. Others continue long after their purpose has faded, draining resources and energy. We bring structure, foresight, and humanity to the entire lifecycle of collaboration. We help you avoid the costly pitfalls and build partnerships that are truly resilient, equitable, and impactful.

Theory of Change (ToC) Development & Review

We guide you to articulate or refresh your ToC in a way that is practical, politically aware, and values-aligned—ensuring it reflects both your mission and the realities of your context. Whether you are creating your first ToC or revisiting an outdated one, we design the process so it fosters ownership, coherence, and clarity across your ecosystem.
