Founded over 16 years ago by pioneering Latina urban planner Alma V. Marquez, Del Sol Group® was built on a simple truth: the firm she needed as a community leader didn't exist—so she built it.
"Complex problems demand bold SOLutions. We don't just consult—we become an extension of your team."
From helping stop a toxic incinerator near a Southeast LA high school at age 15, to overseeing $150M in philanthropic investments, to building La Comadre into a platform reaching one million Latinas monthly—Alma's journey is Del Sol's foundation.
One of the few Latina urban planners in the United States, Alma has spent her career redefining public outreach by placing community at the center of strategy. Her work spans local government, philanthropy, and K–12 education — including 7 years as a district administrator and External Affairs VP, and direct partnerships with superintendents and district leaders across California. She is also the co-founder of La Comadre, a bilingual Latina media network.

We embed with your team, meet your deliverables, and get results without the cost and complexity of a new hire.
We've worked alongside government agencies, nonprofits, school districts, and corporations as trusted extensions of their teams — bringing capacity, expertise, and community relationships that would take years to build internally.
