Information for Wayfarer Foundation
Here are some of the ways we support the work of foundations and their grantees.
EDITING & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
When the Chorus Foundation sponsored a supplement to the Stanford Social Innovation Review, they asked us to manage the project, work with the authors, edit the articles, and coordinate logistics with the SSIR team. You can read the supplement here.
We have done similar work for many others, including producing annual reports for the Mertz Gilmore Foundation, drafting an open letter from funders and grassroots groups to the Bezos Earth Fund, designing reports for the Solidago Foundation, ghost writing a book about sustainability, and writing and designing a fundraising prospectus for Climate Interactive.
BRAND DEVELOPMENT & COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT
We served as the communications staff for the Chorus Foundation for more than a decade. Our team developed their brand identity, designed and built their website, wrote blog posts, produced grantee videos, managed media relations, and more. We also provided communications support, including crisis communications, to a number of Chorus grantees.

We made this short video to help the Libra Foundation honor the work of Crystal Hayling as she retired.
DOCUMENTARY FILM & VIDEO
We have produced several films for funders to highlight the work of grantees. For example, the Mertz Gilmore Foundation asked us to make a film about the ordinary people who successfully stopped the Atlantic Coast Pipeline after six years of organizing. And in 2024 we finished a short film about the environmental racism and government disinvestment on the east side of Buffalo that organizations like Open Buffalo are addressing through their ecological justice work.
We have also produced a number of videos for grantees of the Chorus Foundation, Mertz Gilmore Foundation, and others. Here are just a few samples.
The Mertz Gilmore Foundation has asked us to produce videos for grantees like the Democracy Initiative (at left), Citizen Action, DFAD, and Environmental Grantmakers.
The Chorus Foundation asked us to support their grantees through videos, like the one at left, that show how multiple organizations are working together. And we also produced advocacy pieces like the ad below that was part of a set of ads that were watched to completion
