About Morten Group | 25 Years of Mission-Driven Consulting

2001

Morten Group was founded in 2001 by Mary F. Morten, who brought more than 20 years of experience in advocacy, philanthropy, and policy. She saw how often powerful missions were undermined by internal systems that didn't reflect an organization's public values and built Morten Group to shift that dynamic.

Since then, we've partnered with more than 250 organizations, corporations, foundations, and small businesses nationwide, supporting leadership transitions, mission alignment, and everything in between.

We're a multiracial, cross-sector, cross-generational team of consultants, facilitators, researchers, and coaches united by curiosity, integrity, and care. We've learned that the only way our work can be successful is if we're moving at what Stephen Covey called the speed of trust.

That's where we begin.

READI at the Core

Racial equity, access, diversity, and inclusion are woven into everything Morten Group does. We ask questions about who holds power and who doesn’t. We look beyond symptoms at root systems to design processes that center voices that are often left out.

How We Weave READI into Our Work

Our Values

Our values shape how we show up with client partners, with one another, and in the communities we serve. They guide our decisions, our facilitation, and our accountability.
