Estolano Advisors
Estolano Advisors is an award-winning urban planning and public policy firm. We work with public agencies, non-profits, philanthropies, and businesses to craft innovative solutions to address complex problems.
We see across fields and issue areas to help our clients find pragmatic, context-sensitive approaches. This includes collaborating with national foundations to develop grant-making strategies. It is reflected in the technical assistance we provide to local governments, housing developers, and community-based organizations. And it is evident in our role as conveners and facilitators for clients across all sectors.
OUR VISION
Estolano Advisors envisions a world where all communities have what they need to thrive; shape the decisions that affect them; and steward our social, ecological, and economic resources for the benefit of future generations.
OUR MISSION
We break down structures of exclusion and inspire action beyond the status quo to generate transformative solutions to complex problems. We use an interdisciplinary approach to work with our clients on policies, programs, and interventions that advance racial, economic, environmental, and spatial justice.
Our Values
Equity and justice. We work with an anti-racist frame that requires us to unlearn biases, pursue knowledge that expands our points of view, and centers the lives of marginalized, underserved, and excluded communities.
Excellence. We produce consistent, high quality, and thoughtful products worthy of the communities and clients we serve.
Learning and curiosity. We continually expand our breadth of knowledge, evolve our understanding and language, pursue new ideas and models for change, and share learnings with our clients, communities, and collaborators.
Integrity. Honesty, trust, and transparency are critical to what we do. We lead with openness, and we cherish authentic engagement.
Caring and compassion. We consciously create spaces where everyone can show up as their full selves and which honor our shared humanity, dignity, and wellness.
