ACCELERATING BUSINESS AND SOCIAL IMPACT
About Us
About Ando Advisors
We excel in working with companies and social sector organizations, building leadership-driven partnerships to maximize each partner's unique value. We go beyond for-profit and non-profit distinctions, with a deep understanding of both sectors and what each brings to the table. Business has a powerful role to play in effecting social change, but creating the right programs and partnerships to enable a company to fulfill that role successfully is a challenge. We work with you to find the right partners and the right approach to achieve the greatest possible impact in the communities you serve.
What does Ando mean?
In the Wolof language, spoken almost exclusively in Senegal, West Africa, the suffix "ando" means "to do something together." That is, you need only add "ando" to a verb, to take you from a solitary pursuit to a collaborative one. No individual or organization can achieve their full potential alone. Collaboration, sharing ideas, and leveraging partnerships are critical to maximizing business and social impact.
