Who We Are:
Raben is a public policy, strategic communications and organizational consulting firm. We were founded with a lofty goal and an audacious spirit: to make our nation greater by helping to shift public policy in a sensible, humane direction. We work intimately with policymakers and influencers in the nonprofit, corporate, foundation, and government sectors to identify shared interests, forge new connections, tackle our country's most intractable problems, and uplift new generations of leaders and activists.
Now 100 strong with offices across the country, we are proudly majority-minority, majority women, with a significant LGBTQ cohort. We are immigrants, we are disabled, and we are religious minorities. We bring our full selves to our work, and our varying backgrounds and experiences allow us to offer a unique and often untold perspective to public policy, imbuing us with the fierce urgency of now - we power good work.
Spend time with us and you will quickly learn we value smarts, creativity, and audaciousness in just about all we do... and a sense of humor is a contractual must. Learn more at raben.co.
