Case Studies

In 2018, the Nathan Cummings Foundation announced it would fully leverage 100% of its nearly half-billion-dollar endowment to further its mission of driving sustainable and inclusive growth, making it one of the largest foundations in the world to do so. The foundation has since made tremendous progress and has learned a lot along the way. In 2020, the foundation partnered with Frontline Solutions, a Black-owned national consulting firm, to conduct field research of the mission-aligned investing capacity and practices among Outsourced Chief Investment Officers (OCIOs).

The William Way Community Center engages and supports the diverse LGBTQIA+ communities in the greater Philadelphia area through arts & culture, empowerment, and community connections. The Center embarked on a daring and visionary project to transform and rebuild its existing community center into a more expansive, inclusive, colorful, and unabashedly queer space for all LGBTQIA+ individuals., hence they partnered with Creative Repute to design the capital campaign marketing materials that would support their efforts to raise capital.

Chronicling Resistance: The Exhibition began with (PACSCL) The Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries in 2018 with two primary goals: 

1) To amplify stories of resistance in Philadelphia’s historical archival collections. 

2) To preserve records of today’s acts of resistance. 

With generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and additional funding from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, the Chronicling Resistance project expanded into an archives and exhibitions project in 2020 that would be on display from the Summer of 2022 through the beginning of 2023.
