Essem Strategies has always been committed to public service. That is why we offer our pro bono program to communities in need. We set aside time all year to give back to communities in need. We can typically accommodate two to four communities per year. Often, our work is used as the foundation for a full strategic plan or to serve as a catalyst for other opportunities.
We're interested in working in communities impacted by an economic or natural disaster. We are interested in projects that require no more than one week of intensive study followed by a report to the community in six to eight weeks. Our work typically focuses on:
Communities are only responsible for travel expenses associated with the site visit. Typical costs are in the range of $1,000 to $1,500 per professional and per visit. The value of our donated professional time can be documented and may be used towards a local match for various grant programs. To find out more, please email us.
With nearly 20 years of public and private sector experience, our team at Essem is committed to serving small communities and small businesses alike. We recognize that not everyone can have a full-time economic development or planning professional on hand - we're your ON DEMAND professional.
Our service includes a comprehensive consult to help identify gaps and opportunities, a comprehensive report that includes a project plan with timelines and milestones, a cost analysis, and a schedule.
