Core partners with institutions to create comprehensive pathways to prosperity. We help presidents and boards address prosperity through a lens of abundance rather than scarcity or deficiency. We engage collaboratively with presidents, board leadership, and campus executives to identify a unique pathway to success and then begin work alongside them to execute on the required initiatives.

Pathways to success may include multiple major initiatives: revenue growth and diversification, technology efficiency, operating effectiveness, and new capital strategies. Core has an operating team on staff for every functional area of an institution, and we use these resources across departments to innovate, solve problems, and deliver results.

As an operating partner, Core deploys our people and solution resources into the day-to-day operations of our partner institutions. We become part of your team and actively manage and execute with you on operational objectives.

With Core as an operating partner, we can accomplish more together compared to a "do-it-yourself" implementation model. Far too many institutions have developed strategic plans without the depth of resources to successfully implement their objectives. The same paradigm applies to launching new initiatives with an inadequate financial reinvestment model or implementation shortfalls. Partnering with Core does not change who you are, but what you can accomplish as an institution.

We are a mission-driven company that is dedicated to transforming nonprofit colleges and universities.  As a public benefit corporation, we are bound to serving this mission for the public good. 

Boards are at their best when they are strategically focused on their institution’s future, aiming for goals that are big enough to achieve long-term prosperity. Rather than engaging at a tactical or managerial level, successful boards empower campus leaders to execute on a mandate for business model transformation.
