Think Tank

Think Tank offers a variety of training tools and coaching, designed to assist organizations that are working with communities to comprehensively address poverty. We work with churches, nonprofits, businesses & public organizations to offer trainings designed to deepen their understanding of poverty & equip participants with skills to join with peo... ple from different backgrounds to fight poverty in their community. Think Tank, Inc. exists to alleviate poverty by equipping communities to embrace mindsets and practices that restore the social fabric of society. Over the last several decades, our dominant responses to poverty have included building various charitable programs for individuals and families experiencing economic hardship. Many of these programs have only addressed material needs of families, such as housing or food provision. While important, these services are often disconnected from one another and don't address root issues keeping families in poverty. In an American society that continues to become more diverse, we need greater understanding and more environments where people can connect meaningfully across differences. However, when it comes to poverty, most of us are not equipped to bridge relational divides that exist across economic communities. Think Tanks work is guided by a set of practices that we believe are essential for any program, ministry, or initiative to effectively address poverty with lasting results. We believe that when these practices become habits, communities are more empowered to reach their potential. Think Tank offers a variety of resources, training and coaching to help you implement these practices in your community.
