Community Development

---

PINN advances community development through a community engagement and reinvestment strategy, which can involve local news media. The process can broaden the societal scope and impact of entrepreneurship education, mentoring, work and outcomes-based service learning. The community engagement program at Sonoma State University provides an insightful case study in connecting classroom, campus and community. https://cce.sonoma.edu/ - https://cce.sonoma.edu/faculty/what-service-learning  

PINN facilitates media collaborations among the academic, philanthropic, nonprofit, corporate and government sectors, which includes the public works, health, education, workforce, library, housing and environmental management systems and the arts and culture community. We welcome CDFI's, banks, insurance companies and others, along with their respective community partners. 

We are exploring ways to attract and leverage cross-sector support for technology design and other human-centered innovations. We invite discussions about Enterprise Capital, which Capitalize Good defines as a new paradigm for philanthropy that draws on the approach of for-profit equity investors. http://www.capitalizegood.org/
