Cottage Four has decades of experience in the criminal justice system, and its Founder has been at the forefront of major criminal justice projects and legislation. Working with the criminal justice system is a unique space where business and corporate values—and social and public safety values—should complement each other in meeting public safety goals.
We help serve as a “general contractor” and hub to develop and execute solutions to our justice system’s most pressing challenges. Nonprofits and philanthropic foundations consistently catalyze justice innovation, but their noble work can leave them segmented from key policymakers and private sector leaders. As a practical matter, many nonprofits are too busy doing great work to coordinate complex campaigns. Similarly, private sector leaders often need the nonprofit sector, community-based organizations (CBOs), and philanthropic foundations to deliver better results but do not know where to start. Cottage Four prides itself on political and industry relationships, responsive coalition building, and consistent execution to help meet these goals.
Business capture strategies start long before the sale. We help businesses plan their capture plan long before the RFP response or client presentation to optimize scoring and proposal strategies. For organizations doing business with the government, an effective capture strategy is essential to developing and implementing the strategy surrounding the RFP response. We help develop private, nonprofit, and other strategic partners to ensure a comprehensive plan drives revenue
Government affairs strategy is the cornerstone of nearly all justice solutions. We are in regular contact with Federal and State government leaders, and the organizations and partners with on-the-ground experience relationships that drive government action. Our team has worked with U.S. Presidents, Vice Presidents, dozens of Governors, State and Federal Cabinet leaders, law enforcement and corrections leaders, and countless law and policymakers around the country.
We provide guidance on justice tech solutions in correctional education, workforce, and reentry spaces. As the justice system continues to embrace public safety-focused reentry, a strong foundation in education and workforce development is necessary. Our team has led major reentry initiatives and guided countless government and private organizations as they allocate limited dollars and bandwidth to high-impact programs and projects.
