About Us

Mission:

Sustainable Connections advances a regenerative local economy that builds community, strengthens food systems, catalyzes climate solutions, and expands access to housing in NW Washington.

Vision:

We envision a region of informed and engaged communities where all people have access to fresh local food, live in affordable and healthy housing, make a living doing what they love, and have the lightest possible impact on the environment. We make this vision a reality by leading the transition to a regenerative local economy. Regenerative economies move away from extractive business models and work in harmony with nature and society to foster ecological restoration, community resilience, and social equity.

Building a Regenerative Future

In 2024, Sustainable Connections launched our new mission and vision to create tangible impact in Northwest Washington. Our new mission centers regenerative economies, and we’ve spent the last year applying a regenerative lens to food systems, climate solutions, housing access, waste reduction, and community building. Whether it’s empowering local farmers, supporting businesses in energy efficiency, or providing access to fresh food and affordable housing — through collaboration, care, and innovation, we continue to cultivate a regenerative future where everyone can thrive.
