Company Background and Culture
The Aubrey Group is a grants-based development consulting firm with offices in Elizabeth and Camden, New Jersey. Our team members are expert storytellers, precise writers, and big-picture thinkers. Our grants-based development department offers public policy research, grant writing and grant program development services to public entities, nonprofits, and private businesses. Formed in 2015, The Aubrey Group is quickly expanding with a reputation for high caliber consulting services grounded in the values of kindness, curiosity, and diligence.
At the Aubrey Group, our team creates content for and facilitates the submission of competitive funding proposals, licensure processes, and tax credit applications. Our clients are working on the front lines of urban development and rural preservation. The problems that they face are interesting and important, and our consultants are passionate about helping them design and fund innovative solutions.
We understand our work on individual projects in connection to the big picture – who we are as a country and a community, what we owe to each other, and how we can work together to accomplish our shared goals. We see our time spent on work as an important piece of our overall fulfillment, and we strive to build a workplace that enriches, challenges, and supports every member of our team. We do our best to balance having high aspirations and expectations of each other with the humility and grace that allows us to understand that we are not perfect. We have an understanding amongst our team that no one “gets in trouble” for making a mistake: only for concealing one, or refusing to take responsibility. We see it as our shared responsibility to learn from and help each other.
Our firm believes that building diversity into the foundation of how we do business creates a more fulfilling workplace and allows us to better serve our clients. We take responsibility for developing a workplace that is attractive to, and supportive of, individuals from diverse backgrounds. This includes, but is not limited to, people of color, people who have experiences with disability, LGBTQ folks, people with experiences with immigration, those who honor diverse religious traditions, and individuals from poor and working class backgrounds. We also value diversity of professional, educational, and technical backgrounds. If you see a potential fit for yourself on our team, but this specific position description isn't the best fit for you, we’d like to hear from you.
