Expert Guidance for Long-term Success

We build capacity and make connections among community organizations, nonprofits, municipalities, local developers, and other groups.
The Genesis Fund provides low- or no-cost professional guidance to advance housing and community facility projects.
We coach and collaborate with community groups, planners, builders, service providers, municipalities, nonprofit organizations, housing committees, and property owners.
Sometimes, our guidance goes hand-in-hand with Genesis lending. Other times, we’re simply helping groups problem-solve and plan, to ensure their projects succeed.
We know what we’re good at, and thoughtful about the work we take on.
With extensive on-the-ground knowledge and experience, Genesis knows about the policies, resource gaps, and roadblocks that make different kinds of projects work—or prevent their success.
We assess project feasibility, connect projects to funding sources, and work with groups to plan and develop projects in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
