We work best with leaders of existing operations pursuing growth, turnaround, or renewal, and either seeking investment or philanthropic funding or being self-financed through sales, grants, donations, and contracts. We serve up to a dozen organizations (nonprofit, for-profit, and emerging hybrid organization models) per year and reaching hundreds through training.

We are especially interested these days in common good enterprises that create jobs, help to alleviate poverty in rural agricultural areas, seek to improve community health, and/or connect art with community and business.
