We partner with foundations and community-based organizations to provide expert project management from issue analysis to project design and implementation to capacity building and coaching to evaluation.

History

BuildCommunity was launched in 2005 to help communities operationalize their aspirations. Our big idea was that communities could improve their quality of life through active civic engagement. Communities that were informed, connected, and engaged reported a higher quality of life. We believed that we could “build community” by increasing civic vitality, educating community members, building trusted relationships with policy and decision makers, and providing community members with opportunities to serve. We still believe that.

Advancing Equity

We focus our energies on healing communities, addressing policies and practices that create or sustain inequities, and supporting the development of robust community-led solutions.

Capacity Building

Meaningful change in immigrant and rural communities require broad coalitions. We build the capacity of community leaders to convene and lead cross-sector/cross-cultural collaborations.

Health Information Technology

Investments in Health Information Technology are improving health outcomes and reducing the cost of care. We work to ensure that immigrant and rural communities benefit from these investments.
