Our Mission

Partnership Planners LLC (or Planners for short) is a social enterprise company founded to empower organizations and community partners to more effectively learn and serve in an increasingly pluralistic and technological world.  Through our professional consulting services and customized software solutions, we build the capacity to more effectively harness social power for responsible and sustainable change.

“Planners has built the capacity of public schools in and around the Greater Capital Region to launch K-12 S.T.E.A.M projects, tie them to common core standards and sustain them into the future. These project-based learning opportunities have exposed hundreds of students to 21st Century skills which are essential for life and work.”
— Chad Frey, President
“I’ve been at my job for more than 20 years and am responsible for significantly more projects now than when I started. Much of the additional work I’ve been able to take on has been because of the added capacity the Planner has provided. Not only has it given me more time, but it has improved our record keeping and our volunteers appreciate how easy it is to volunteer.”
— Heidi Neuhaus. Volunteer Center Director of the United Way of the Capital Region
