Movement

Together is How
Change Happens

Thrive + Prosper aims to be the most relational and impactful movement Grand Rapids has
ever experienced.

Where it’s normal — not newsworthy — for everyone to thrive and prosper.

We’re a collective of local businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, community organizations, faith organizations and residents with a shared vision.

Mission
To connect and facilitate networks of changemakers on the ground with networks of resources to drive generational impact.
Vision
To stimulate a culture in which it's normal for everyone to thrive and prosper.

From Relationships to Results

Relationships
Moving from ”my story” to “our story” through intentionality and curiosity.
Experiences
Moving from scarcity to abundance by connecting voices, networks and resources.
Shared Vision
Moving from competing to collaborating towards an audacious goal.
Action
Moving from a charity mindset to an investment mindset, one of time, talent and treasure.
Results
Moving from a fractured and disincentivized model to one that seeks mutual benefit and generational impact.
