centre for social innovation: community bond book

The Challenge

The Centre for Social Innovation (CSI) had an amazing story to tell.  They raised $2 million toward the purchase and renovation of a 36,000-square-foot building in a whirlwind eight months.  They wanted to inspire other organizations to convert their social capital into real capital.

The Solution

We produced a meaty manual on their innovative and democratic fundraising tool, The Community Bond. I worked directly with with CSI founder and executive director Tonya Surman as I edited a collaborative draft of the book to clarify structure, unify the tone and prepare for the design team.   To download a free excerpt of the book, please click here.
