Advancing Community
Through Collective Impact

Our Mission

Supporting and empowering organizations to create a more healthy, educated, equitable and just society.

For more than 25 years, HTA has partnered with nonprofit and public agencies to help them achieve their missions by improving their effectiveness, scaling up what works, maximizing resources, and building capacity. We listen carefully to our clients – understanding where they are and customizing our consultation with humility and strategy. We lift up the voices of our clients and the communities they serve.

We have assembled a seasoned team of specialists who are dedicated to the HTA mission and who consistently apply their expertise and experience to develop and strengthen important community change initiatives.
