Let’s Connect

No pitch, no pressure, just a real conversation about where your organization is and how we might help.

Silphium Collective is a consulting practice for mission-driven organizations. We work with charter school leaders who are ready to build something that lasts while keeping their people and values intact.

Grant Strategy & LaunchPoint

Pursuing Charter School Program funding or a major philanthropic grant?

What We Do

The hard work is just beginning. LaunchPoint sits alongside your team from application through Year 1 execution, so you're not building the plane while flying it.

We handle design, drafting, review, project kickoff, milestone systems, and team coordination.

If you:

hit a gap
a project director transition
a reimbursement process you've never navigated
a peer review requirement

We've built systems for that, too. You come out of the engagement with capacity that's yours to keep.

LaunchPoint is Silphium's implementation support program for Charter School Program grantees. Whether you need templates and guidance to get started, monthly coaching as questions arise, or a full-service partner to manage the process alongside your team, there's a level of support built for where you are. Download the one-pager to see exactly what's included and how it works.

Other Ways We Work Together

MORE FROM SILPHIUM COLLECTIVE

Embedded Chief of Staff You're stretched across board, staff, fundraising, and operations, all at once. We act as your strategic partner, managing priorities, connecting siloed work, and ensuring critical tasks get done. No agenda except yours.

Leadership Lab for Managers Your managers are figuring out how to lead without burning out or crushing their teams. We provide practical frameworks that actually work — available as cohort training, single-topic sessions, or 1:1 coaching.

Strategic Planning & Org Design Navigating a leadership transition, rapid growth, or restructuring? We run a short, agile planning process with real stakeholder input — the kind that shapes how you actually work, not the kind that sits on a shelf.

Team Retreats & Development Your team is stuck, fragmented, or just needs to reconnect. We assess what's really going on, facilitate the conversations that move things forward, and build systems for better communication and collaboration.

Let’s Connect

If something we talked about in New Orleans at the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools 2026 Conference stuck with you, that's worth a conversation. No pitch, no pressure. Just a real discussion about where your organization is and what support might look like.
