About Us

Overview

With the help of our partners, Idealist Consulting has supported a number of organizations dedicated to social responsibility throughout the globe. Our rates are discounted for nonprofits, NGOs and B Corporations.

How it All Began

Idealist Consulting was formed in 2000 under the direction of Rob Jordan, company director. Rob began his career in project management with McNett Corporation, an international OEM located in Washington. Roughly six years later Rob joined the Peace Corps, serving as a business development volunteer for the country of Ukraine. After his service, Rob began work with an established USAID consulting firm as a business analyst assisting public and private sector organizations with technical integration as well as organizational development. Shortly after completing his contract with USAID, he formed Idealist Consulting-- a new kind of consulting firm specifically designed to advance the missions of socially responsible organizations through technical, organizational and promotional development. By implementing a private sector means toward a public sector end, Idealist Consulting has helped improve operations for a number of organizations dedicated to missions such as: social services, environmental protection, business ethics, education, disaster relief, local government, theatre development, and others.

A Better Way to do Business

We choose to do business as a socially responsible B Corporation.  That designation includes a rigorous certification process examining social and environmental impact, as well as a commitment to ethical policies in every aspect of the company.  When you support a certified B Corporation, you're supporting a better way to do business.  We are helping to create greater economic opportunity, strengthen local communities and preserve the environment by holding ourselves to a higher business standard.
 

Letter from the Director

With experience in both the private and public sectors, I have come to learn that although socially responsible organizations have a premium on goodwill, they often lack the needed infrastructure to be efficient. Sadly the outcome can be the misuse of funding resources, lack of organizational memory and an inability to maintain stability within the organization. It does not have to be this way.  With the help of Idealist Consulting, you can strengthen the foundation of your organization while simultaneously advancing your mission. By utilizing private sector “best practices”, the nonprofit world can rely on cutting edge technology and systems integration that are simple to implement and efficient to utilize. Contact us to learn how we can help advance the mission of your organization.
