We operate as a one-stop center for launching good things.

Bring us community ideas and we will co-generate flourishing sustainable enterprises with you.

Celebrating over twenty-five years of service, The Simeon Institute began creating community capacity in 1992 and continues this focused mission today. Our early expertise in crisis management gathered momentum as significant State Department funding introduced us to leaders of the former Soviet Union, exploring new responses to crisis and emergency management in the wake of Chernobyl and the opening of the West.

Our research and practice integrates the UN Sustainable Development Goals into both process and results. Our current focus is SDG 11 Sustainable Cities & Communities, emphasizing participatory, integrated, and sustainable human settlement planning and management, together with protecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations primarily working with resilience to disasters.
