Intermediary &
Liasion Services 

Our Services 

​

Liaison Support & Navigation 

We act as a liaison between government and community, helping both parties navigate funding structures, compliance requirements, and reporting systems. Our support ensures smoother interactions, fewer misunderstandings, strategic design support for complex project elements, and a more collaborative working relationship. 

​

Contract & Agreement Negotiations  

We facilitate conversations and negotiations for contracts, MOUs, and partnership agreements, ensuring that terms are equitable, understandable, and realistically aligned with each party’s capacity and goals. Our team is experienced in reassessing contract terms and deliverables when needed, so that all parties have a clear understanding of feasibility, ensuring realistic capacity for contract outcomes. This leads to increased support for our community, successful completion of contracts, and fiscal and project accountability. 

​

Communication Enhancement & Alignment
Impact 907 helps translate technical language into actionable steps, clarify timelines and deliverables, and serve as a communication conduit between agencies and nonprofit partners - keeping everyone on the same page from start to finish. We understand conversations and contracting between community organizations and government agencies can lead to misunderstandings, conflict, and barriers to successful outcomes.  At Impact 907, we see conflict as a space for growth and intentionally lean into barriers with curiosity. This allows us to navigate challenging spaces and troubleshoot difficult conversations with empathy and creativity, while building and reinforcing key relationships that are vital to the success of community projects and initiatives.  

​

Bridging Gaps in Capacity & Understanding 
We assist smaller organizations in overcoming structural and resource barriers that often prevent them from participating in public partnerships. At the same time, we help government agencies better understand the lived experiences and needs of the communities they serve. Our intention is to support the needs of both the community and the government, to create mutually beneficial partnerships that encourage the goals of each group. We are dedicated to building unique and effective partnerships that benefit our communities, while developing a robust ecosystem of community professionals, nonprofits, governmental agencies, small businesses, and other local stakeholders to implement collaborative strategies and solutions. 

​

Ensuring Realistic Capacity & Accountability 
Impact 907’s team is highly experienced in reassessing contract terms and deliverables midstream, when needed, to ensure that expectations remain feasible and fair. We work with both government agencies and nonprofit partners to reevaluate scope, timelines, and deliverables to reflect realistic organizational capacity.

 

By ensuring that all parties have a shared understanding of what’s achievable, we:

 

• Prevent miscommunication and scope creep 

• Support the successful completion of deliverables 

• Increase trust and support within the community 

• Strengthen fiscal and project accountability 

• Improve long-term outcomes for publicly funded initiatives 

 

This reassessment process is vital to sustaining meaningful government-community collaborations, particularly in rural or underserved regions where capacity may shift due to staffing, funding, or external factors. 

​

Community-Centered Advocacy 
With lived and professional experience across rural, tribal, and under-resourced communities throughout the Northwest, we ensure that government-community collaborations are rooted in trust, inclusion, and cultural responsiveness. We are the communities we serve, which means we understand the nuances of complex partnerships and engagement. We are committed to centering the voices of those most impacted in our neighborhoods; upholding autonomy, connection, and relationships as key to effective systems change.
