ABOUT VISION BROOKINGS
Private investors recognized the amazing potential and opportunity in the Brookings region and came together to provide the financial resources necessary to capitalize on these opportunities. Since 2005, Vision Brookings has been an economic growth accelerator for the region, creating shared progress and success while positioning the area for future growth and development, leveraging investments in long-term, game changing, catalytic opportunities.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe in the power of private investment to accelerate public growth. Vision Brookings creates a platform for business leaders and community members to support catalytic, game-changing projects that enhance quality of life, foster economic opportunity, and prepare the region for long-term success.
OUR APPROACH
Vision Brookings evaluates and supports initiatives that are:
-
Catalytic – unlocking significant public and private co-investment through local match funding
-
Game-Changing – designed to address major infrastructure, workforce, or business development needs
-
Long-Term – focused on sustainable impact and scalable growth for the region
​
We target projects that can leverage our contributions at a ratio of at least 10:1, multiplying every dollar to maximize regional benefit. Investors are actively engaged in guiding priorities, shaping initiatives, and advocating for the region’s future.
