Here is a bit of our origin story:

In 2012, Elsa A. Ríos and Emily Goldfarb founded RoadMap Consulting to continue the successful work of the Management Assistance Program (MAP) of the French American Charitable Trust (FACT). 

Over the course of its initial 7 years, MAP conducted more than 90 capacity building engagements with social justice organizations while consistently receiving highly favorable evaluation ratings. RoadMap builds on the legacy of MAP and has now conducted over 400 capacity-building engagements through high-impact, relevant, and deeply integrated consulting services

We fill a broader need in the social justice sector  by providing support ranging from organizational assessment to digital security and financial planning — all applied through a framework aimed at building democratic institutions and practices.

We invite you to get to know RoadMap by meeting our consultants, learning about our programs and services, viewing a list of our clients and funders, and reading client testimonials and case studies.
