Values
Shared values are at the core of Aril Consulting’s business model. The values listed below demonstrate our team’s shared commitments, along with those that we look for in the organizations we work with.
1. We only work with organizations that we believe in.
You're passionate about what you do, and so are we. We will become trusted team members, fueled by your hope for a better future, working hard to advance your goals, and dedicated to your mission.
2. We persevere in the face of daunting challenges.
We recognize that in the pursuit of every worthy mission, there will be countless obstacles. When times get tough, we'll work with you to tackle any obstacle.
3. We genuinely care about the planet.
We value organizations and individuals whose work is in service to others and the planet. We have a deep commitment to sustainability, and believe in nurturing the regenerative and healing potential of the planet. We always consider environmental impacts in our purchasing and decision-making.
4. We support a healthy & balanced workplace.
We know that this work can be physically, mentally, and emotionally draining. That's why we believe it's important to take care of ourselves and each other. To maintain a productive, committed, healthy & happy staff, we value flexibility, worker appreciation, and ample time to recharge and reflect.
5. We embrace diverse clients and diverse funding streams.
We seek to work with a diverse portfolio of clients because we believe that it will take many different approaches to overcome the injustices that we face today. We believe that organizations need to explore diversifying their funding streams, with an emphasis on individual support.
6. Trust and integrity are key to success.
We promise to be honest and transparent in our work and expect the same from our clients. We will engage in courageous conversations when necessary to meet our shared goals.
7. We deserve a society that values everyone equally.
We believe that nobody should be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, ancestry, or national or ethnic origin.
8. We champion justice.
We believe that many of the problems organizations confront are rooted in systemic and societal injustices. We are strongly committed to social justice, equality, and human rights for all. Racism and oppression need to be understood, addressed, and eliminated.
9. Learning is a lifelong process.
We bring a certain set of skills and knowledge to our work, but also are committed to continuous learning. We learn a lot from our clients--this is one of the joys of consulting! We hope that you can learn from us too--we will always take the time to explain the rationale behind our recommendations.
10. This work is dynamic and so are we.
Our work is most successful when we adapt to and meet changing needs, envision alternative paths, and creatively work to solve problems. By bringing a whole team to a consulting project, we are better able to meet your organization’s changing needs.

Approach
Partnership: We take a collaborative approach and work hand-in-hand with our clients. By taking the time to truly understand your organization’s mission, vision, current challenges, and opportunities, we collaborate with you and your staff to make the critical connections with donors, funders, clients, and customers that will provide you with sustainable sources of funding. We do not simply suggest an approach—we work alongside you to create and implement a realistic financial road map, and make sure that you understand the strategy and can confidently implement it in the future.
Teamwork: At Aril Consulting, each team member brings different strengths and valuable input to every project. We find the best fit between our team and yours, based on the nature of your work and your needs. This approach allows us to build flexibility into our services, letting us adapt to better meet your needs. We bring a diverse range of skill sets, experience, and specialty areas to the table and we are proud to provide a team of consultants who are as dynamic as the clients we serve.
Mission-Alignment: We work with organizations who aim to make the world a better, more just place. Taking you on as a client means that we believe in your organization’s mission and vision just as deeply as you do. Since the #1 limiting factor for most organizations is funding, we foster the culture of philanthropy and internal systems needed to be financially sustainable and achieve your mission for years to come.

The Meaning of Aril
aril (noun): the usually fleshy and often edible covering of certain seeds, e.g. the pomegranate seed.
Pomegranate seeds are an ancient sign of abundance. When envisioning what the future can be, I think of abundance. A future free of worrying about having enough. We don't imagine excesses or wastefulness, just simple abundance. An aside: The white edible pillows of the mangosteen are also arils. |
