About Us

The Institute for Community Prosperity provides learning to transform communities empowering students, citizens, and organizations to drive impactful change. Through systems-focused research and sense-making partnering with students and the community, we equip changemakers with the confidence and skills to lead.

Our commitment extends beyond campus borders. By championing social innovation and aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we connect students, faculty, staff, and communities in a shared pursuit of social impact.

Founded in 2015, our institute builds on a legacy of empowering social progress. We embrace the complexity of modern challenges, advocating systems-thinking, sense-making, social innovation, transdisciplinarity, and collaboration between sectors. Our focus reaches beyond the nonprofit realm to encompass all facets of community well-being.
