RoadMap is a national team of seasoned capacity builders dedicated to advancing the power and promise of social justice organizations.

RoadMap continues the successful work of  the Management Assistance Program (MAP) of the French American Charitable Trust (FACT).  Over a period of seven years, MAP conducted more than 90 capacity building engagements with 39 social justice organizations and consistently received highly favorable evaluation ratings.  As FACT prepared to spend down in 2010, social justice organizations and funders alike expressed the need to continue MAP in some way, and --as a result of this demand from the field -- RoadMap was born.

At RoadMap we believe that social justice organizations are critical to creating transformational change in our society. We also believe that in order to achieve this transformational change, organizations need support to adapt to new challenges and changing conditions.

RoadMap exists to provide this support through high-impact, relevant and integrated consulting services.  As a team of capacity-builders “indigenous” to social justice and movement-building, we understand the organizational goals, strategies, structures, and cultures particular to social justice organizations.  As such we are able to engage deeply with clients to provide precisely-tailored capacity-building that fits their needs.  In doing so, RoadMap helps fill a broader need in the social justice sector: the need for relevant organizational development and coaching support applied through a framework that both embodies and advances social justice.

In addition to providing coaching and consulting services, RoadMap serves as a forum for peer exchange and innovation, developing and testing new strategies to help build the social justice sector as a whole.  
 
Led by Emily Goldfarb of GoldRio Consulting and Elsa A. Ríos of Strategies for Social Change, RoadMap is made up of a core team of 16 consultants with more than 25 affiliates across the country.  We bring extensive on-the-ground experience, a range of complementary skills, and a diversity of race and ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, and geographic backgrounds that can be rare in the consulting field.
