Welcome. We design creative experiences that engage communities,
then connect those communities to capital.
We are Alexandra Nelson and Jaime Dempsey, strategists + founders of Welcome Strategies. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, we devise community engagement approaches that honor people’s stories, aspirations, and the uniqueness of the places they call home.
As an extension of our engagement practices, we craft strategies that connect donors, philanthropic organizations, corporations, and government agencies to informed, high-impact community investments.
Alex and Jaime are artists, both former directors of the Arizona Commission on the Arts, with deep experience in philanthropy, public sector funding, and community leadership.
