Ourspace Foundation believes the long-term health of the Lansing region depends on three interconnected conditions: strong community connection, sustained individual and family well-being, and a stable local economy anchored by small businesses.

When residents have access to shared cultural experiences that build belonging, wellness resources that support all 8 dimensions of wellness, and real economic opportunities through entrepreneurship and innovation, communities become healthier, more resilient, and better positioned for long-term growth.

By intentionally aligning culture, health and wellness, and economic opportunity within the same neighborhoods, venues, and public spaces, Ourspace Foundation addresses multiple community challenges at once—creating reinforcing outcomes that improve quality of life across the Capital Region.
