We help organizations build capacity and secure needed resources,
activiating your programs from vision to results.
SAI works with partners, communities, corporations, nonprofits, and government to transform vision into results—securing resources, building capacity, and implementing strategies that address society's most pressing challenges.
Jim and Colleen Copple
Jim and Colleen Copple know that the problems facing nonprofits, government agencies, and communities don't come with simple solutions. Over 25+ years, they've worked at every level—federal policy, state partnerships, grassroots implementation—and learned that success depends on having the right people in the room. That's why they've built a team of specialists across disciplines and sectors, ensuring every client gets matched with experts who've navigated similar challenges before.
At SAI, we work side by side with our partners and clients, spending time on the ground to understand their mission as it is lived day to day.
Our approach is ethnographic — shaped by listening, observing, and learning directly from the people doing the work. We do not sit in offices in Washington, D.C., or New York speculating about how or why you are engaged in your mission.
We are with you to observe, listen, learn, and coach so that we can best advocate for you and the people you serve. We come along side you to help build your capacity and to secure the appropriate funding to fulfill your mission.
