Blueprints for Tomorrow, a 25-month Incourage-led and USDA-supported program held in 2016-2018, was designed to build networks, vision and skills to lead a new regional economy based upon the values of equity, opportunity and shared stewardship.
The Blueprints curriculum consisted of four integrated tracks of learning that were designed in partnership with national thought leaders. These included adaptive leadership; impact investing and financing; collaborative development practices; and local, inclusive, and sustainable economies, presenting lessons for communities nationwide.
The following six organizations participated in the first Blueprints:
By combining training, coaching and community knowledge with evolving design and finance tools, Blueprints is helping our community’s institutions do business in new and different ways, ensuring that they are prepared to support an entrepreneurial culture shaped by resident participation.
Blueprints was made possible by a co-investment partnership between Incourage and USDA, through a Rural Community Development Initiative grant.
