Policy-driven strategy that turns non-discrimination values into anti-racist action — for businesses, institutions, and the communities they serve.
About the Firm
R.D.T.H Consulting exists to close the gap between what organizations say they value and what they actually do. We partner with small businesses, institutions, and governments to build policy, funding, and engagement strategies that create durable, equitable change — not statements, but structures.
Founded by Robert D.T. Harper, MPP, the firm brings more than twenty years of public speaking, a decade of audience engagement, and a track record of over $2 million raised from foundations, banks, and government partners since 2023.
