Over the last year, we have turned to Isaac to contract with us on a wide variety of projects and have been impressed every time.  Whether conducting national level research on foundation priorities around child safety, making recommendations on a foundation's role in tsunami preparedness and community resilience, or conducting due diligence for our responsive grant work, we have been able to trust Isaac entirely.  His strong and clear communication skills, coupled with his deep Oregon background make him an easy person to turn to as we look to improve our foundation strategy.  Not only does Isaac bring a strong work ethic to any project but he has a great deal of common sense, integrity, and humor, making him a pleasure to work with.”

Adam Davis, Principal, DHM Research

Isaac has been a terrific resource to me.  He has great contacts in the arena of foundation work and was able to conduct effective interviews with thought leaders and then turn this information into a concise, actionable work product.  He's also extremely smart and thoughtful; able to see connections and bring ideas beyond what he is asked to do.”

Melinda Rogers, Director of Willamette University's Executive Development Center

Isaac helped OCF with several projects including developing a partnership with the PGE Foundation to expand the Community 101 youth philanthropy program around the state.  Isaac’s work gave us a road map to follow including clearly delineated roles and responsibilities, partnership commitments and  benchmarks for success. As a result thousands of young people are better educated, more involved community citizens for Oregon!”
