Approach

Posse Foundation

We helped conceive of and provided support to Posse Foundation to create two revenue producing models to complement its traditional college access program.

Posse Consulting created an earned revenue stream for the organization’s core work. Posse Consulting has worked with more than 45 clients, ranging from colleges to law firms to large corporations training employees through workshops and day-long events, on how to promote integrated diversity, foster cross-cultural communication, create inclusive spaces and develop leaders.

Heckscher’s generous funding of Posse Consulting has allowed us to not only deepen our work in higher education, but to also reach beyond. Thanks to Heckscher, Posse now offers a wide range of companies and organizations effective strategies for improving diversity and inclusion.

This initiative has enabled Posse to expand its impact in higher education as well as increase its influence over how college access programs and corporate diversity initiatives approach and address challenges related to promoting equity in their institutions.

PosseConnect focuses on supporting college campuses in fostering a sense of belonging for first-year students. Designed to be part of new student orientation, PosseConnect is a 3-hour community accelerator that helps a college or university build an immediate sense of community for their newest class of students. PosseConnect weaves together small group activities, multimedia elements, and large group dialogue to create a unique experience.
