Urban Matters is your strategic partner in social planning and community development.
At Urban Matters, we are conveners, facilitators, and listeners. We are a collaborative consulting group dedicated to tackling complex social issues through innovative and sustainable solutions. With a focus on systems change, we go beyond conventional approaches, striving to be the go-to partner for organizations seeking transformative solutions that challenge the status quo.
Yet, we are much more than that. We operate with a unique business model that goes beyond traditional consulting. As a Community Contribution Company (CCC), we are a social enterprise that contributes a significant portion of our profits back to the communities every year. Rather than making donations, we believe in supporting initiatives that target gaps in our social systems and empower communities to lead their own change efforts.
Since 2016, we have contributed more than $1 million back to communities. When we combine efforts, resources, and innovation, there’s no limit to the positive outcomes we can achieve for our communities.

Our Values
We are inclusive.
We invite everyone to the table to collaborate and create solutions that benefit society as a whole, rather than just a few. We are thoughtful about uplifting the voices of those with lived and living experience and are mindful of the ways we can implement intersectional inclusivity.
We are innovative.
Systemic problems require new and creative solutions. We bring new ideas and dive deep into root causes. We look for system gaps, test new approaches, and challenge how things are currently done.
We are adaptive.
Social challenges are constantly evolving. We stay curious and work across any areas of need. We are forever learning and adapting to the unique of the circumstances of each community and assessing emerging needs.
We are impact driven.
Creating positive social change is in our DNA as a Community Contribution Company. Beyond our project work in communities, we also contribute a large portion of our profits back into communities every year in support of community-led intiatives.
