Wealthworks

  • In 2016, we worked with The Aspen Institute and the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship, with funding from The Ford Foundation, to travel through the American South to tell the story of WealthWorks. WealthWorks is an economic development model that centers on strengthening assets rooted in local people, places, and projects.

    We developed messaging and stories to piece together the complex components of WealthWorks in a way that diverse audiences could engage with. Over the span of two years, we produced nine stories and developed additional training videos explaining how to adopt the WealthWorks model. Each story, and all collected content also became a gifted tool to the organization. Over 7 years later, many of the organizations are still finding value in the videos created, using them to continue to share their work and gain support.

“Working with KERTIS was one of the highest points of all our [WealthWorks] work with The Ford Foundation.”
