Fern Tiger Associates

history

SINCE 1978 Fern Tiger Associates (FTA) has been dedicated to three areas of work: communicating the broad impact of public policy on individuals and their communities, while helping those individuals and organizations understand how they can shape public policy; developing creative solutions which strategically address agency challenges, while responding to the nuanced reality of people and their needs; and demonstrating to organizations and their communities how successful projects and programs can be shared.
The firm’s history is filled with projects and long-time relationships that have influenced the direction of scores of organizations – helping them to grow and mature, while thinking innovatively about their future and the issues they should address in order to bring about long term change. With deep roots in progressive issues and a long-standing commitment to the purpose and value of the nonprofit sector, FTA has a unique set of creative and pragmatic skills that have been honed over a quarter century and integrated into all of its work.

“It’s not just what you’re born with but what you choose
to bear. It’s not how large your share
is but how much you can share. It’s not the fights you dream of but those you really fought. It’s not just what you’re given but what you do with what you’ve got.”
