What Civic Consulting Collaborative does

Civic Consulting Collaborative (CCC) is a mission-driven consulting cooperative based in Colorado that specializes in stakeholder engagement, public process facilitation, strategic planning, and learning and evaluation services. The firm operates as a member-owned cooperative of approximately 13 principal-level consultants who are deployed in multi-disciplinary teams (e.g., seven-member teams for statewide health engagements, eight-member teams for conservation summits) on projects spanning from initial design through report development. CCC's clients are concentrated in government (Colorado HCPF, Denver Climate Action Task Force, Denver City Council, Office of Behavioral Health) and the nonprofit and foundation sector (COACT Project, Central Grasslands Conservation Initiative), with additional reach into social enterprises and CSR departments. The firm describes itself as grounded in values of authenticity, community, equity, growth, impact, integrity, and inclusivity, and differentiates on its ability to deliver consensus-based outcomes such as the 100% agreement achieved on the Denver Climate Action Task Force recommendations that led to voter-approved Ballot Initiative 2A creating a $40M annual Climate Protection Fund.

CCC's offering is organized into three service lines: Engagement Services (public participation, strategic facilitation, strategic communications, coalition building), Strategy Services (sustainability and strategic planning, systems change, implementation support), and Learning & Evaluation Services (culturally responsive equitable evaluation, participatory planning, emergent learning). The firm has no software product, no app, and no API; revenue is generated purely through professional services engagements. There is no publicly disclosed pricing, no funding history, and no parent company. The cooperative structure is governed by a board (Chair Leander Lacy, Secretary AJ Boglioli, Treasurer Nikki Murillo, member Jack Becker) and operates with a sales-led, relationship-based go-to-market motion, acquiring clients through direct engagement, referrals, and case-study-driven content marketing on its website and LinkedIn. Geographic footprint is concentrated in Colorado and Denver with select cross-regional work in North America conservation.
