Commonplace
&
Commongrounds
Commonplace and Commongrounds are two mission-aligned, but independent organizations. We have separate staff, boards, budgets, and work.
Both Commonplace and Commongrounds share a strong commitment to creating a more interconnected, accessible and prosperous region. We share a similar network of like-minded changemakers and community leaders. And we both can’t wait for the new building to open!
Here are some ways in which we’re aligned but different:
