Cross-Sector Fields That Fuel Impact

BFM specializes in working with organizations that value the well-being of people and communities, organizations that identify just as much with their field of change than over which sector they happen to be in.

We understand the unique value that cross-sector collaboration brings to driving progress. What sets us apart is our team’s deep expertise, diverse lived experiences, and our ability to tailor services specifically to the needs of these fields. By combining forward-thinking solutions with an inclusive approach, we empower mission-driven teams to effectively align strategy, people, and systems—maximizing social impact whether you’re scaling access to care, reimagining learning, building climate resilience, or developing equitable tech solutions.
