OUR Services

Allied Agenda is a bold, Colorado-based public policy firm driven by a desire to change the status quo and improve the lives of children and families. Our work focuses at the nexus of policy development and implementation. We provide capacity where there is none, and bridge the gaps between the grasstops policy landscape and the grassroots efforts taking place on the ground.

Allied Agenda principals and associates are passionate about public policy.  We believe that strong, well-functioning public-sector organizations are a key component to the health of our society and system of government.  And our belief that there is power in number drives our desire to build strong coalitions and engage stakeholders so everyone has a voice in the policy development process, knowing we can achieve more together than we can alone.
