Founded by Ryan Darilek, COS Collective was created to address a pressing need: many mission-driven organizations lacked the strategic support necessary to grow and sustain their impact. Ryan has spent his career developing innovative approaches to community well-being, economic empowerment, and organizational development.
His journey began with personal transformation—overcoming adversity, breaking cycles of trauma, and dedicating his life to systemic change. After facing significant personal and professional challenges, Ryan took his lived experiences and turned them into a force for good. He transitioned from struggling with adversity to leading impactful initiatives that create lasting social change.
Over the years, Ryan has worked with organizations focused on reducing recidivism, expanding access to mental health services, providing transitional housing solutions, and strengthening workforce development programs. His expertise in securing funding, building strategic partnerships, and structuring programs has helped organizations move from surviving to thriving.
With a deep understanding of the barriers nonprofits and social enterprises face, Ryan founded COS Collective to bridge the gap between vision and execution. His ability to connect organizations with the right resources, partnerships, and funding opportunities has made COS Collective a trusted partner for mission-driven entities.
