Turning Ideas into Reality

The right support at the right time.

We fill a crucial gap in mission-driven organizations - providing the responsive, right-sized support you actually need. Not a years-long consulting engagement or one-off workshop - we bring practical partnership to meet you where you are.

  • "As an executive leader, it's easy to feel isolated when facing complex decisions. What makes Helia different is they truly serve as that essential touchstone - providing both the open space and practical partnership you need when you're stuck. It's like having the perfect blend of strategic thought partner and hands-on support, exactly when you need it most."

    Michelle Rhone-Collins, CEO, LIFT

  • "Before Helia, I was exhausted and overwhelmed, not sure how to get out of it. They didn't just help us create frameworks and plans - they gave us the gift of space to do the work we needed but didn't know how to create space for. Now I feel like I have this magic resource in my back pocket - a true partner who can help turn complexity into clarity while keeping our heart at the center."

    -Helen Leung, Executive Director, LA Mas

  • "What sets Helia apart is how they just jump in and get things done. Instead of overthinking or overplanning, they bring invaluable expertise with a 'hands on keyboard' approach. They consistently met us where we were with optimism, encouragement, and practical solutions - taking first passes at documents, sharing templates, and making everything feel easier. It's refreshing to work with partners who combine deep experience with such a collaborative spirit."

    Emily Leys, Deputy Director, Rise Up

Helia in action

Here’s how we’re bringing our “how” to our partners’ challenges.

Focused Collaboration

Peace4Kids had a powerful vision: a Nature Retreat and Healing Center centered on youth employment and community ownership. We're helping them turn this vision into reality by building sustainable business models, operational plans, and staffing approaches. Every piece is designed to create lasting community impact while ensuring financial sustainability.

Exec Team Development

LIFT came to us during a significant moment of change - new strategic plan, expanding leadership, and the need to bring different working styles together. Through their first executive retreat, we helped create space for both structured planning and deeper team connection. Together we built frameworks for planning and team alignment that honored both the strategic work ahead and the relationships that would make it possible.

Hands-on Coaching

We're supporting Rise Up's journey to independence through hands-on partnership. From weekly coaching sessions to collaborative design of their operations manual, we're helping build the foundations for their next chapter. It's practical support that keeps big transitions moving forward.

Connection

When SolarAPP needed to submit a major government grant in 30 days, we jumped in to help. By connecting them with the right expertise and creating lasting systems, we supported both their immediate needs and future growth. Sometimes the right connection makes all the difference.

Organizational 360

Through our Discovery360 assessment, we're helping Just in Time plan thoughtfully for national growth. By gathering insights from every corner of their organization, we're ensuring their expansion builds on current strengths while creating new possibilities. It's strategic planning that starts with listening.

Annual Planning + Org Design

LA Más was ready to strengthen their foundations while staying true to their community roots. Together, we developed clear decision-making frameworks, sustainable funding approaches, and measurable OKRs for their housing and economic initiatives. The result? Stronger structures that support their mission and team while deepening their community impact.
