TURNING VISION INTO ACTION

We design strategic, student-centered solutions that move ideas from paper to practice.

WHO WE ARE

“We help mission-driven leaders navigate policy, funding, and implementation to expand opportunity for children and families.”

OUR APPROACH

WHY IT MATTERS

At PM Strategies, we believe access isn't a buzzword—it's a blueprint.

Whether it's a parent searching for a better school option, a nonprofit looking to align with public funding, or a policymaker aiming to do more than pass legislation, we help bridge the gap between ambition and implementation.

Because real impact doesn’t live in theory—it lives in classrooms, communities, and every decision that brings opportunity closer to those who’ve been left out too long.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY

"I have worked with Patrick on a variety of different projects and in a variety of different capacities. Regardless of the project content and the nature of the partnership, he is skilled at making the work meaningful, intentional, and practical. He brings a deep understanding of community and makes the work fun, all while ensuring alignment with the project's mission and driving key project outcomes.”
