Client: Faith in Place
Market Research for an Environmental Justice Advocacy Group
Following the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on mission-driven organizations, Faith in Place needed a partner to provide scenario planning and a market feasibility study for expansion.
18 Coffees conducted an analysis of prospective donors and partners, led market research, facilitated stakeholder interviews and delivered strategic recommendations on how to expand the client’s mission into three additional states, ultimately helping to secure board approval for expansion.
Our work included: Market Research, Strategic Planning, Research & Insights
“18 Coffees knocked it out of the park. Our board was very impressed. The team ultimately helped me secure board approval by mapping out different scenarios for our expansion.
It was clear to me that they really believed in our mission, genuinely cared about what we were doing and wanted us to succeed. If I could, I would hire them to be a part of our own team.”
— Brian Sauder, Executive Director at Faith in Place
