Latanya Mapp 

  I help philanthropy and global organizations move money—and power—where it creates the greatest impact.  

Key Sectors - Sustainability, Social Enterprise, Impact Investing, Venture Philanthropy, Health Technologies, Art and Culture (Luxury Brands), Civil Society and Technology, Humanitarian Delivery, International Development, and Academia (research).

Geographies: Europe, Africa, Asia, Middle East, Pacific, Latin America, United States, and Caribbean.

As Managing Partner and Founder of the consulting division of Culture Seekers LLC, I work with foundations, nonprofits, and international organizations to design funding strategies that are more equitable, more effective, and built to scale.

From reimagining grant making models to deploying capital across continents, my focus is simple:  turn ambitious social impact goals into measurable, global results.

  Who I Work with:

  My clients are typically:

• Philanthropic institutions ready to rethink traditional funding models

• Nonprofits looking to scale beyond incremental growth

• Global organizations navigating complexity across regions, stakeholders, and capital

  They come to me when:

• Funding strategies aren’t delivering real impact

• Growth has plateaued—or become unsustainable

• Systems and structures are reinforcing the very problems they aim to solve

• They need to move faster, but with more intention and equity

 What I Do

  I partner with organizations to:

• Design and implement funding strategies that unlock growth and impact

• Shift power through trust-based and participatory approaches

• Scale organizations across geographies without losing mission integrity

• Align strategy, capital, and execution for real-world results

• Apply AI solutions across sectors and needs.  

  This is not advisory for the sake of optics.
  I work at the intersection of strategy and execution—where decisions actually translate into change.

 My work is grounded in one belief:
who decides, how money moves, and what gets measured determines impact.

 I bring a focused, execution-driven approach:

  My Approach

1. Get to the truth
  We identify what’s really limiting impact—beyond surface-level symptoms.

2. Redesign for impact and equity
  We build strategies that shift both outcomes and power dynamics.

3. Execute in real conditions
  Across geographies, cultures, and constraints—not just in theory.

4. Scale what works
  With systems that sustain growth, not just short-term wins.

 Selected Results

  I’ve led transformations that combine bold strategy with measurable growth:

• Global Fund for Women
  Implemented trust-based and participatory grantmaking approaches, growing assets from $14M to $75M in five years and positioning the organization as the largest feminist funder operating across six global regions.

• PP Global
  Repositioned and rebuilt Planned Parenthood’s international program into an investment-focused model supporting nonprofit health enterprises across Africa and Latin America—scaling from $5M to $25M in three years.  Led the organization’s transition from New York to Nairobi, expanding to four continents.

  Why I Do This Work

  Too much capital in the social sector is constrained by outdated models, slow decision-making, and misaligned incentives.

  I’ve seen firsthand what happens when those constraints are removed:

• Organizations move faster

• Communities gain real agency

• Impact scales in ways traditional systems can’t achieve

  My work is about unlocking that shift—intentionally and at scale.

  How I Work

  Clients choose to work with me because I bring:

• Clarity in complex environments

• A bias toward action, not analysis paralysis

• Deep experience across global systems and funding structures

• A willingness to challenge assumptions—and redesign them

  Engagements typically include:

• Funding strategy design and transformation

• Organizational repositioning and scaling

• Global expansion strategy

• Advisory on trust-based and participatory philanthropy
