Welcome to the Connection Company!

At The Connection Company, we’re rooted in community and guided by a commitment to justice, right action, and meaningful repair. Our mission is simple yet profound: We bring social and climate justice visions to life through meaningful fundraising, strategic planning, facilitation, and communications collaborations.

We believe fundraising is more than a tool—it’s a pathway to advancing racial, social, and climate justice. Through collaboration, trust, and bold action, we bring a better world to life.

Whether your organization is navigating challenges, dreaming of transformative possibilities, or just getting started, we’re here to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll craft strategies that honor your values, uplift our communities, and create lasting, impactful change.

Our Services

We’re engaged in Sonoma County’s Community-Centric Fundraising Community of Practice as part of our ongoing effort to learn, reflect, and grow in alignment with the global CCF movement.
