Rebecca Darwent Global helps turn your questions into a living strategy—activating your full resources to accelerate community-led solutions in social, economic, and climate justice. Not someday. Now.

CLIENT VOICES

"Before working with Rebecca, I was holding onto a real fear that establishing governance procedures might feel intimidating or challenging the family members in our foundation. Rebecca, with genuine compassion and empathy, helped me see governance through a next-gen lens—and helped me find ways to articulate the value to my family, rather than presenting them as a burden. She has a remarkable ability to highlight and build on the strengths we already have together, making the work feel generative rather than limiting. Her strategic insight and ability to bring out the best in our approach is invaluable."

Meagan Sutton

Executive Director, OspreyTree Foundation

"Rebecca brought a rare blend of vulnerability, clarity, and seasoned expertise that reshaped the energy of our entire retreat. She created a space where our women, each leader and staff member alike, felt genuinely seen. The conversation she sparked carried well beyond her session, even inspiring our founders to join in.

Her high-touch, thoughtful approach made it feel less like a guest speaker and more like a meaningful conversation with a trusted friend."

Lauren McClintock

Managing Director of Operations, BeSpoke Group
