Our Role

In coordination with an international exhibit design firm, NPL helped the company’s community affairs team to rethink their investments to help with this goal while simultaneously meeting their own public relationships goals. This involved surveying and galvanizing other corporate and foundation investors such the Helios Foundation, The Arizona Community Foundation, the Virginia G. Piper Foundation, PetSmart and others. We also involved The University of Arizona and Arizona State University in extensive discussions to understand the most pressing local needs, especially challenges in education. At the end of the project, NPL delivered an extensive report and recommendation regarding a change in strategy to benefit all stakeholders.

Let’s create an impact together.
