The Seventh Generation Institute Advantage
Nonprofit Perspective
Being a non-profit ourselves, we know full well the pressures faced by such groups and can
ensure that any project will be an added value, not a drain. For public agencies, we offer
not only our capacity for excellent analysis but also the ability to be quickly available and
work flexibly.  We are interested in building long-term relationships with our partners as
well as ensuring that the project outcome is cost-effective and “right-sized.”   

Partnering
We regularly partner with consultants, organizations, and agencies who are developing
projects or programs. We are delighted to work with private and commercial interests on
conservation projects of mutual interest (but we do not work for private or commercial
interests to further their business goals).

Get in touch!
Tell us what you need. An email is often the best way to get started. Tell us who you are,
what your needs are, project objectives and general range of budget. From there, a phone
call or a meeting is a good next step.
