What is the Due East Difference?

In 2022, we worked with The Hatcher Group to produce a short video that captures the essence of what makes Due East unique. At just 3.5 minutes, the video highlights our approach, our people, and the values that guide every engagement.

The Due East Difference is rooted in inclusion, equity, and collaboration. Unlike traditional consulting firms that operate behind closed doors, we intentionally design processes that invite diverse voices to the table. We believe that when leaders, communities, and stakeholders are engaged in the planning process, the outcomes are more meaningful, sustainable, and transformative.

Our work spans across the nonprofit, corporate, philanthropic, and public sectors — yet our approach is consistent: create space for dialogue, build trust among partners, and co-create actionable strategies that lead to lasting social and environmental impact.

The video also features our clients, who share how Due East helped them strengthen organizational capacity, launch effective community engagement programs, and align around shared goals. By combining big-firm expertise with small-firm attention, we ensure that every partner receives tailored support and practical tools to drive real change.

Watch the video above to learn more about the Due East Difference — and why our purpose-driven consulting model continues to inspire leaders and organizations across the U.S. and beyond.
