Three HL Group helps organizations define their vision, set priorities, and create actionable plans. The team designs and facilitates strategic planning processes, conducts community and stakeholder assessments, and delivers data-driven insights that inform decision-making and strengthen institutional capacity.
Whether guiding schools through sustainability planning like fundraising and capacity building, supporting funders in aligning their investments with impact, or helping nonprofits navigate growth and change, Three HL Group provides the support and insight needed to move from ideas to implementation.
Three HL Group works with organizations to create clear, actionable 3–5 year roadmaps that align mission, vision, and resources. We begin by establishing the process in your organization’s core purpose - what do you stand for? Who are you really serving? Where do you want to go? Through structured conversations and data-driven analysis, we help you articulate priorities that reflect both your aspirations and your operational realities.
From there, we guide you in developing measurable goals, timelines, and implementation structures that align staff, board members, and stakeholders around shared direction. Our plans are practical, tailored, and rooted in best practices across the nonprofit and education sectors. We ensure you leave with a plan that is not only inspiring but also achievable—one that provides clarity for daily operations and a strategic foundation for building long-term sustainability.
We support foundations, major donors, and philanthropic partners in designing grantmaking strategies that maximize impact and align with long-term communal needs. Our work begins with helping funders articulate their core values and intended outcomes, then builds strategy around the belief that grantees are genuine partners in the process. This approach fosters trust, transparency, and shared accountability, ensuring philanthropic investments strengthen both organizations and the communities they serve.
Beyond strategy development, we advise on evaluation tools, impact measurement, and long-term partnership structures. The result is strategic giving that is thoughtful, sustainable, and aligned with both funder priorities and the true evolving needs of the communities they care about.
Three HL Group conducts demographic and market analyses that give organizations a clear understanding of their current and future landscape. We analyze participation or enrollment trends, community demographics, competitive markets, and emerging opportunities to help leaders make data-informed decisions. Our work includes both quantitative data and qualitative insights to create a full picture of what is happening now, and what is coming.
These analyses become powerful tools for strategic planning, program development, and institutional growth. We distill data into clear concepts, showing how evolving demographics, family preferences, geographic shifts, and competitor activity impact your organization. With this knowledge, leaders can proactively plan, innovate, and position themselves for long-term success rather than reacting to change.
We help schools and nonprofits design affordability models and long-term financial strategies that strengthen institutional viability. Our work always balances accessibility for families with the financial realities of running an ever-changing institution. Whether you are rethinking tuition, reimagining revenue streams, or exploring new affordability frameworks, we provide customized financial modeling that aligns with your mission and funding.
In addition to modeling, we help leaders understand the financial drivers behind sustainability - enrollment patterns, cost structures, endowment planning, and multi-year financial planning. We are skilled at identifying areas of financial inefficiency or structural challenges and offering clear steps to strengthen financial health. Our team has experience supporting schools that are struggling financially, helping them stabilize operations, rebuild confidence, and chart a path toward long-term viability. The result is a stronger, more resilient institution with a clear plan.
We build scenarios that allow you to see the consequences of strategic decisions over time and help you communicate financial strategy transparently to boards, donors, and stakeholders.
Three HL Group works with boards and senior leadership teams to strengthen governance, clarify roles, and enhance organizational leadership. We support boards in understanding their responsibilities, improving decision-making processes, and operating with greater alignment and effectiveness. This may include board training, committee restructuring, and policy development.
Our work ensures that the people guiding your organization—both lay and professional—are aligned, well-prepared, and working from shared expectations. Strong governance and leadership are at the center of long-term success, and we help you build the systems to get there.
We design and facilitate stakeholder engagement processes that build trust, create shared understanding, and drive meaningful action. We use a range of tools, including listening sessions, focus groups, surveys, and community conversations, to reveal the perspectives, concerns, and aspirations of your community. Our facilitation style prioritizes psychological safety, transparency, and clarity, creating an environment where participants feel genuinely heard and respected.
Beyond data collection, we help you interpret and act on what you learn. We synthesize stakeholder feedback into themes, implications, and recommendations that support strategy development and institutional change. This work not only supports planning but also builds buy-in and shared ownership, laying the foundation for smoother implementation and long-term success.
