Administration

As specialists in nonprofit management, 1791 Delegates provides administrative, financial, and governance services. We manage partner organizations and use technology to streamline systems and maximize efficiency and transparency. 

Communication

Communication specialists at 1791 Delegates use data-driven decision-making to execute authentic marketing initiatives that use email, postcards, phone calls, and social media networking. We leverage professional networks to maximize word-of-mouth buzz by leveraging strategic initiatives from members, partners, and investors.

Community

1791 Delegates is best known for building robust learning communities. We utilize best practices in membership recruitment and retention and transform a traditionally transactional role of tech support into a relational experience. Our ultimate goal is to help members know that here they matter, here they belong.

Education

The First Amendment and human rights educators at 1791 craft educational products that are non-partisan, academically rigorous, and constitutionally sound. We use plain language to make legal concepts accessible and relevant. Our publications are aesthetically compelling and accessible to a variety of learning styles. Most importantly, we produce inclusive materials by and for diverse stakeholders, ensuring that our products are anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and multicultural.

Fundraising

We have found that “palms up and open” is an unhealthy disposition for leaders to take when fundraising. By cultivating an institution’s self-worth, 1791 Delegates equips leaders to make firm strong handshakes of partnership with philanthropic investors. This confidence is partially born from leaders understanding the language of money and seeing how their unique contributions manifest their supporters’ deepest-held values.

Publishing

Drawing upon decades of experience in the library sciences and academic publishing, 1791 Delegates provides clients with various publishing services. We use technology to build submission and peer-review systems, prepare style guides to guide the copyediting process, and use e-commerce tools to publish print-on-demand journals, course packs, and books.

Research

As multidisciplinary scholars in the humanities, we craft timely and timeless research to illuminate contemporary moral and legal conflicts. We meaningfully contribute to scholarly and policy discourses while educating the public about how to protect the rights of every person, including those with whom they disagree.

Strategy

As strategic planners, 1791 Delegates empowers leaders in emerging and established organizations with the necessary skills and resources to craft inspiring and realistic objectives. We help them earn trust with diverse stakeholders and train their teams to articulate shared values and measurable milestones to achieve that which no one person can do alone.

Technology

“Technological advances must be matched by comparable advances in human relations,” Huston Smith said.

1791 Delegates builds and manages social learning communities and mobile apps. We utilize state-of-the-art social networking technologies, learning management systems, and e-commerce tools to publish online and blended learning courses and host online and hybrid events.
