THE NEIGHBORHOOD METHOD
We developed The Neighborhood Method™, which enables us to serve as a strategic partner to local organizations, guiding them as they expand their capacity to support social entrepreneurship in their community. Our tailored approach was built upon the proven model pioneered by Miller Center for Global Impact and applied locally by Innovation Works in Baltimore.
Innovation Works supports entrepreneurs, researchers, and small manufacturers with programs that accelerate growth and strengthen the local Baltimore startup ecosystem.
Miller Center equips social entrepreneurs with expert programs and mentorship to develop sustainable solutions that address the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
THE NEIGHBORHOOD METHOD
We help local partners develop the systems and resources needed to support entrepreneurs for the long term.
From Local Impact to Collective Momentum
When communities invest in entrepreneurs, the impact reaches far beyond individual businesses. We connect local ecosystems to a broader network of leaders and organizations, creating opportunities to share knowledge, resources, and momentum.
