How We Work

We align strategic decisions with community wisdom

Our process brings together community, business, policymakers, and philanthropic leaders to identify priorities, design community-led solutions, and scale what works.

We are bridging gaps in education, the economy, housing, and healthcare by:

  • Amplifying community voices

  • Investing in community-led solutions

  • Rigorously evaluating progress

  • Scaling effective strategies to ensure every Utahn can thrive

We amplify community voices.

We create space for community, businesses, policymakers, and philanthropic leaders to build relationships and move beyond differences. With our shared humanity as a foundation and community wisdom at the center, we facilitate a process to collectively identify, prioritize, and design solutions to close opportunity gaps.

We accelerate community-led solutions.

We connect businesses, policymakers, and philanthropists to the most reliable source of positive change: community. When decisions align with community wisdom, new approaches to previously intractable challenges become possible, successful, and sustainable.

We learn, document, and adjust.

We regularly monitor and assess our collective efforts to identify what is working and what isn’t. We translate these learnings into action through a process of shared dialogue and reflection, identifying needed course corrections, sunsetting solutions falling short, and capturing the unexpected to share with others.

We scale what works.

We align the goals of businesses, policymakers, and philanthropic leaders with community-led solutions proven to advance belonging. Through new practices, policies, and long-term investments, these partners turn community successes into state-wide change.
