The Incubator Services section introduces you to Community Partners’ comprehensive services for emerging community projects.

 

What is an Incubator?

Great ideas for community change often get tripped up by the hurdles of government requirements and administrative procedures that come with putting them into practice. These burdens can slow or even stop a community venture from reaching its goals.

By extending legal, corporate, and fiscal sponsorship to new projects, Community Partners allows them to operate under the auspices of a fully qualified tax-exempt public charity.

In addition to providing financial and administrative oversight, training and peer-to-peer learning, Community Partners offers a nurturing, supportive environment to help social entrepreneurs succeed.

Community Partners believes that the community’s overall health and well-being is improved when community leaders are able to be strategic, effective, and ultimately achieve the greatest impact possible.
