FAQ
FAQ
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Here are the top questions our clients ask before getting started.
Who do you work with?
We primarily serve brands, sports organizations, and cultural leaders — including corporations, sports leagues, teams, and public figures such as athletes and entertainers. We then connect these clients with aligned nonprofits to ensure every partnership is authentic and community-centered.
How do you choose the “right” nonprofit or community partner?
We start with alignment: mission fit, shared audience, track record, governance, and community credibility. Then we co-design roles, outcomes, and safeguards so the partnership is authentic, not performative.
Can you work with athletes/creators and our legal team without drama?
Yes. We handle brand safety and approvals end-to-end: intent briefs, usage rights, NIL/licensing, social guidelines, and review flows. The priority is values alignment before visibility.
Do you help secure funding or co-fund campaigns?
We can align CSR dollars, sponsorships, and grants with the work. That includes partner sourcing, co-investment frameworks, and drafting MoUs so funding supports the campaign and the community.
How do you keep “community voice” central?
Listening sessions, local advisory cohorts, and compensated community contributors. We prefer co-creation over extraction, and we budget for community participation from the start.
What does success look like 90 days in?
An approved strategy, signed partner(s), creative direction locked, activation plan with dates, and a live KPI dashboard (reach, engagement quality, partner outcomes). You’ll also have internal talking points and exec-ready reporting.
Can Seven and Grace work as a specialist inside our larger agency mix?
Absolutely. We often embed as the culture/impact partner alongside AORs, handling partnership design, community strategy, and impact storytelling while your AOR drives broader media/brand ops.
Do you offer team enablement (not just “done-for-you”)?
Yes. We deliver workshops on impact storytelling, community partnership best practices, and practical AI for comms/ops. Expect templates, checklists, and office-hours support.
Can you measure more than vanity metrics?
Yes. We report cultural resonance (who engaged and why), partner outcomes (capacity, pipeline, workforce touchpoints), and narrative lift — not just impressions.
Do you work directly with foundations or corporate philanthropy teams?
Often. We translate corporate goals into community-centered activations and help foundations vet partners, define outcomes, and tell the impact story credibly.

Yes. We report cultural resonance (who engaged and why), partner outcomes (capacity, pipeline, workforce touchpoints), and narrative lift — not just impressions.
Do you work directly with foundations or corporate philanthropy teams?
Often. We translate corporate goals into community-centered activations and help foundations vet partners, define outcomes, and tell the impact story credibly.
Who do you work with?
We primarily serve brands, sports organizations, and cultural leaders — including corporations, sports leagues, teams, and public figures such as athletes and entertainers. We then connect these clients with aligned nonprofits to ensure every partnership is authentic and community-centered.
How do you choose the “right” nonprofit or community partner?
We start with alignment: mission fit, shared audience, track record, governance, and community credibility. Then we co-design roles, outcomes, and safeguards so the partnership is authentic, not performative.
Can you work with athletes/creators and our legal team without drama?
Yes. We handle brand safety and approvals end-to-end: intent briefs, usage rights, NIL/licensing, social guidelines, and review flows. The priority is values alignment before visibility.
Do you help secure funding or co-fund campaigns?
We can align CSR dollars, sponsorships, and grants with the work. That includes partner sourcing, co-investment frameworks, and drafting MoUs so funding supports the campaign and the community.
How do you keep “community voice” central?
Listening sessions, local advisory cohorts, and compensated community contributors. We prefer co-creation over extraction, and we budget for community participation from the start.
What does success look like 90 days in?
An approved strategy, signed partner(s), creative direction locked, activation plan with dates, and a live KPI dashboard (reach, engagement quality, partner outcomes). You’ll also have internal talking points and exec-ready reporting.
Can Seven and Grace work as a specialist inside our larger agency mix?
Absolutely. We often embed as the culture/impact partner alongside AORs, handling partnership design, community strategy, and impact storytelling while your AOR drives broader media/brand ops.
Do you offer team enablement (not just “done-for-you”)?
Yes. We deliver workshops on impact storytelling, community partnership best practices, and practical AI for comms/ops. Expect templates, checklists, and office-hours support.
Can you measure more than vanity metrics?
Yes. We report cultural resonance (who engaged and why), partner outcomes (capacity, pipeline, workforce touchpoints), and narrative lift — not just impressions.
Do you work directly with foundations or corporate philanthropy teams?
Often. We translate corporate goals into community-centered activations and help foundations vet partners, define outcomes, and tell the impact story credibly.
