SonderSphere Strategies is redefining what it means to be a strategy consultancy in the social impact space.

We exist to help organizations unlock deeper impact that uplifts rather than extracts, empowers rather than exploits, and values rather than commodifies.

Too often, strategies are created in silos. Consequently, they may be technically sound, but disconnected from the people they’re meant to serve. That’s where we come in.

Rooted in the concept of sonder, we operate with the belief that strategy must reflect the dignity and complexity of real human lives. We offer rigorous, equity-centered approaches to policy or program design, organizational strategy, and collective impact initiatives. Our clients trust us because we save them time and provide clarity, but more importantly, because we bring lived experience, cultural fluency, and bridge the gap to communities that institutions often struggle to reach.

What Makes Us Different?

Our value is twofold: we take on the rigorous, research-driven lift to provide data-proven strategies so leaders can stay focused on their mission, and we bring something few firms can — authentic relational capital, lived experience and access to the very communities our clients want to engage.

We combine rigor with resonance. Our team invests the time, thought partnership, and critical analysis to build strategies that are not only technically sound, but emotionally intelligent and socially rooted. 

We also offer intangible access, a rare mix of relational capital, magnetic presence, and lived experience that allows us to connect with communities that institutions often struggle to reach. Our proximity to the people you want to engage is not just strategic, it’s authentic. It builds bridges, empowers, drives buy-in, and ensures that every solution is informed by those closest to the challenge.

With SonderSphere, you don’t just get a plan, you get a partner who expands what’s possible.
