Community Benefits

Understanding the benefits your project or investment can bring to a community starts by first understanding the community itself. Genuity helps explore opportunities to multiply the benefits of your project and enhance the strengths of the community. We provide:

  • Community Benefit Pre-Planning: Establishing goals and boundary conditions for community benefit planning prior to discussions with potential partners.

  • Community Benefit Opportunity Analysis: A written report of the opportunities and partnerships that may be integrated into the project plan.

  • Community Benefit Option Development & Evaluation: A more detailed report that integrates specific programmatic community options and weighs their relative outcomes.

Project Identification

In some instances, the desired impact leads the development/property project before a location is identified. When the community benefit goals are already known, but the right place for a project needs to be found, we can help. Genuity provides:

  • Property Characteristic Consult: Conversational consult to explore the essential and non-essential qualities that can guide a search for the right site.

  • Project Characteristic Analysis: Written evaluation of preferred site characteristics, including the observational advantages & disadvantages of each. This analysis considers the relationship between the site program, supportive infrastructure, and the encompassing community environment.

  • Project Site Identification: With clear goals and criteria, Genuity can help consider a variety of real estate opportunities within a targeted geography in order to generate and select a fitting option.

Program Partnerships

Community benefits are sustained by a network of partners (formal and informal) who are committed to community. Finding incumbent efforts and nurturing them to layer the positive impacts they create takes time and intention. Genuity provides:

  • Partnership Parameters: An outline of high-level, opportunities and boundary conditions for partnership in advance of forging new ties.

  • Partnership Analysis: Field discussions and written analysis of the partnership environment surrounding a project.

  • Partnership Relations & Formation: Relationship-building and collaboration culminating in the creation of a Partnership Plan.
