Make a greater impact
Commonality is a public health consulting firm that brings people together to achieve shared goals and create change.
We forge unlikely alliances.
We practice the art of organizing people around shared values to achieve our clients’ goals. We provide strategic consulting, facilitate meetings, survey communities, and form coalitions around shared interests in public issues to bring together the best of differing minds and bridge gaps in understanding.
Our approach is participatory
Here at Commonality, people come first. We ensure community voices – those with lived experiences – are fully heard, understood, and included in our collective solutions.
We believe in the power of systems change
Our work is grounded in the recognition that many core social issues are not caused by individual behavior, but instead from flaws in the greater systems. Employing this systems-thinking allows us to bring together people across industries – nonprofit organizations, corporations, and government agencies – to address the heart of the problem and create more supportive systems.
We help people find common ground
We build consensus and facilitate collective solutions. The results are sustainable, strategic solutions that combine the best of each organizations’ strengths to create a stronger collective.
