The Carbonate Group, led by Charles, supported my organization during a funding crisis by helping us strengthen our narrative, refine our funder presentations, and close critical gaps. Every interaction was marked by professionalism, strategic clarity, and meaningful results.

Charles brought a rare mix of strategic clarity, creativity, and deep values alignment to his work. Charles shows up as a trusted thought partner, someone who understands both the urgency of climate action and the importance of equity in how that work gets done. Charles also made me feel comfortable raising concerns and elevating thoughtful solutions, a rare thing to see in consultants.

From idea generation to precise final drafts, Charles executes incisive social commentary, insights and reflections on LGBTQ+ issues as an essayist and content creator for San Francisco AIDS Foundation. Moreover, his need-to-know policy and health updates has greatly expanded the capacity and impact of our public affairs and communications team.
