“Bert Stitt’s involvement in our downtown and industrial park projects as a facilitator was invaluable. Without his organizational leadership skills we would not have gotten either project off the ground.”

Bank President,

The Center's Interactive Strategic Planning program (ISP) gets all parties on the same page with a shared vision and clear direction. ISP engenders a more productive public discussion, with the immediate benefits of greater project predictability and lower investment risk.

ISP creates an atmosphere of goodwill, teamwork and integrity that significantly reduces development delays.

The Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is raising $500,000 to establish an endowment fund for underwriting community engagement visioning processes.

Private and corporate contributions to the Center for Community Stewardship, are tax deductible as allowed under the Internal Revenue Service tax code. Donors should consult their financial advisors.

The Center’s nonprofit status also enables it to serve as a fiscal agent for ad hoc community groups that raise money on their own to support facilitation of community issues but which lack nonprofit status.
