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.
