About
Strategic Program Consulting
Your programs should be easier to run, easier to scale, and easier to explain.
Trusted by organizations including
We work with established organizations who are ready to stop managing programs reactively and start building the infrastructure that lets them scale with confidence.
Built for organizations managing complexity, growth, and impact at scale.
Who We Work With
Government-Funded Collaboratives
Public–philanthropic partnerships and funded collaboratives that require performance measurement, operational infrastructure, and clear impact narratives to satisfy multiple stakeholders.
Organizations with annual budgets of $2M–$50M, delivering multiple programs and navigating the simultaneous pressure of funder accountability, team capacity, and participant outcomes.
Established Nonprofits
Foundations & Sector Networks
Philanthropic bodies and sector intermediaries sponsoring or scaling program delivery across multiple grantees, communities, or geographies who need coherent frameworks across the portfolio.
Candace Lauren built CLGC because she spent years watching excellent organizations struggle with the same fixable problem: programs that outgrew the systems built to run them. She didn't see a consulting firm doing this work in a way that was integrated, practical, and grounded in how nonprofit teams actually operate, so she built one.
With 15+ years of direct sector experience including leading program delivery at national scale, Candace and her team brings a perspective that is equal parts strategic and operational. She has sat in the same rooms as your Executive Directors and Program VPs. She understands what it costs to get this wrong, and what it takes to get it right.
CLGC is proudly Canadian, nationally active, and deeply committed to mission-aligned organizations working in equity, economic development, Indigenous communities, and the public good. Our team combines strategic learning design, immersive experiences, and culture enablement to transform ideas into memorable, measurable outcomes.

About CLGC
Most organizations are scaling programs faster than their systems can keep up.
Your organization is hitting its numbers on paper, but you're one key person quitting away from everything falling apart.
You started this work to change the world. Instead, you're managing crisis after crisis while your best people burn out trying to hold together programs that were never designed to work as a system.
STOP.
What if your programs could run without you putting out fires every day? What if your team felt confident instead of constantly stressed? What if your board saw clear proof of impact instead of just busy work?
That's what we build at CLGC.
We help established nonprofits transform from crisis management to confident leadership — with systems that work, teams that thrive, and impact stories that turn funders into long-term partners.
Ready to build an organization that actually works without you having to save everything?
The Challenge
The CLGC Impact Systems Framework™
Rather than treating programs, operations, and evaluation as separate workstreams, we align them into one integrated system. This is the lens we bring to every engagement — and the foundation of every deliverable we produce.
Our Approach
Program Clarity
Sharp goals, defined outcomes, and a clear participant profile.
Scaling & Sustainability
Systems designed to grow without growing the chaos or the headcount.
Operational Infrastructure
Workflows, SOPs, and systems that make delivery consistent and scalable.
03
Experience Design
Programs built around how participants actually learn, engage, and benefit
04
05
Impact Measurement
Data practices embedded in delivery — not bolted on at reporting time.
