FIM Strategies is a boutique policy strategy studio with deep Food is Medicine expertise and a proven track record for building the visibility, alignment, and collaboration that effective FIM movements require.
We don't parachute in with a framework and leave. We embed alongside coalitions, state agencies, and national networks for the long arc of policy change.
WHAT WE BRING
1. Landscape Data Collection + Analysis
2. Advocacy Planning + Execution
3. Coalition Building + Management
4. Communications Strategy
5. Leadership Development
Some clients engage us for a discrete project — a landscape scan, a workshop series, a stakeholder report.
Most bring us in for longer-term engagements where our work spans the full range of what we do: research, coalition building, campaign execution, communications, and leadership development.
FOUNDER/PRINCIPAL
Kristin Sukys has spent nearly a decade at the forefront of Food is Medicine policy. Before founding FIM Strategies, she served as a policy analyst at Harvard Law School's CHLPI, authoring the first FIM State Plan in the country and launching the country's first state-level FIM coalition.
OUR COMMITMENT
"Hunger is not caused by a scarcity of food but by a scarcity of democracy, as people are denied power even over life's essentials." — Frances Moore Lappé
FIM Strategies is committed to systems change that provides people with the resources they need to live happy and healthy lives. But systems change is slow, and health can't wait.
That's why we donate 1% of our annual revenue directly to UpTogether, putting resources in people's hands now, no conditions attached.
