Welcome to our PERSPECTIVES blog

"Insights and resources for building better, more connected communities"

Welcome to Perspectives, the new blog from Social Prosperity Partners! Our platform provides insights and resources for building better and more connected communities, the foundation for a thriving society.


As a trusted partner to cities & towns, school boards, and nonprofit organizations, we look forward to covering such topics as strategic planning, championing civility, building partnerships, measuring impact, and agile fundraising. Expect our blog to offer a combination of practical advice, insightful connections, and thought-provoking perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing communities today.


We invite all community leaders to join us in an ongoing dialogue about advancing the cause of togetherness through the art (and skill) of courageous conversation. We look forward to sharing our knowledge and resources with you, and hearing your thoughts and feedback along the way.
