Nurturing communicators
Two decades ago, Kristen Grimm was working with social-change organizations to make a difference. But she noticed that these groups were starved for fresh ways to engage and motivate people. She knew that they would thrive if they could teach their own people to think more strategically, so she started Spitfire in 2002 to do just that. Today, we're still partnering with many of those original clients, and they are still changing the world. Learn how we do it.

So, what’s a Spitfire?
People ask if we are named after the plane. We’re not. The bike? No. The skateboard? Still no. We are named after Kristen. Her friends came up with the name to reflect her personality. Her fiercely passionate, pragmatic, let’s-get-this-done perspective permeates the firm. She has surrounded herself with a diverse, best-in-class team of Spitfires across the country. We have many unique perspectives, and we know how to move issues in community centers and city halls, campuses and capitols, courthouses and conference rooms – in person and online. That’s what a Spitfire does.
Values-driven culture
Spitfires are champions of justice. As individuals, we are committed to the concept of intersectional equity. As a firm, we always push ourselves to advance diversity and inclusion in our work, and in the communities we serve. Does this sound like a home for you?
