Community Happens Here.

Front Porch Collaborative helps organizations build stronger community engagement, advocacy, and movements rooted in the leadership of people most impacted.

The Challenge

Many organizations want to engage communities meaningfully. But limited time, resources, and capacity can make engagement feel rushed or extractive.

Real community takes trust, intention, and strategy.

The people closest to the problem are closest to the solution.

Meet Amanda

I created Front Porch Collaborative to help organizations build strategies that truly center community leadership in order to make lasting change.

I bring nearly twenty years of experience in nonprofit advocacy, coalition building, and community engagement to this work. I've done it at every level, from grassroots organizing to national nonprofits and on Capitol Hill. Through Front Porch Collaborative, I’m putting that expertise into action with my clients.

One of the best compliments I’ve ever received was that I'm “fiercely human” and bring my whole heart to my work. I’ll take it. I care deeply about the real people and communities at the center of this work, and I partner with organizations that are just as committed to building a better world, together.
