WHO WE WORK WITH
At MXD Arts, we work with nonprofits, creative innovators, and social enterprises who want to
build better futures.
We collaborate with our clients to identify their needs and develop a plan for making their vision a reality. Then we get to work. Our engagements can last anywhere from a single day to several months. However long we spend with you, the effects will be lasting.
We live in the mountains of northern New Mexico and work with clients in person and virtually all over the country (and world!)
Why Nonprofits?
We understand nonprofits, their limited resources, and capacity. We know how to work with the unique challenges of nonprofit business and meaningful missions. Our experience with nonprofits uniquely positions us to co-create long-term plans for implementation rather than a single touch-point. We stay connected with our clients because we know that each organization depends on others in this ecosystem.
