ABOUT
IP3
IP3 is a nonprofit organization working to create healthy, equitable, sustainable communities that advance well-being now and for future generations.
MISSION & HISTORY
We believe in building capacity for communities to make real, lasting change. Our work Is founded in our commitment to improving community and population health. We provide knowledge and know-how surrounding data and technology, rooted in our deep passion for community partnerships. We have a long history of working with large and small organizations to provide data and reporting tools to assess community needs, prioritize investment areas and efforts, share stories for inspiration, and develop implementation plans for community improvement.
Over a decade ago, we were privileged to take part in the many national community improvement efforts sparked by the CDC, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Kaiser Permanente, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Y-USA, United Ways, and others. We became leaders in the “Healthy Communities Movement” through developing, and making publicly-available, an online, public-good website bringing community data and stories of success to inspire and drive community change: CommunityCommons.org.
WELL-BEING NARRATIVE
We promote a holistic, equitable approach to community health and community- change work though sharing and showcasing content and data within the context of a well-being narrative.
