Envision Partnerships

What Envision Partnerships does

Envision Partnerships is a non-profit community-based prevention organization headquartered in Hamilton, Ohio, that has operated in Butler County for over 60 years (founded circa 1966). The organization delivers prevention services across four pillars: substance abuse prevention, suicide prevention, problem gaming and gambling prevention, and conflict and violence prevention. Services are organized into prevention coalitions (Butler County Suicide Prevention Coalition, Healthy Hamilton Coalition, and the Prevention Policy and Advocacy Coalition), community and family-based programs (Community Early Intervention, Mediation & Facilitated Problem-Solving, Camp Mariposa), school-based programs (classroom education, support groups, early intervention), youth development programs (Agents of Change, Kidz-n-Character), prevention trainings (QPR, PAX Tools, 8 Dimensions of Wellness, Developmental Assets & Relationships, Minimize Risk Maximize Life), and community initiatives (Choices Campaign, Deterra Bags, Food Finder Map distribution centers).

The organization's underlying technology consists of a standard informational website (envisionpartnerships.org) hosted via Firespring, with social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. There are no proprietary technology platforms, software products, APIs, or data systems described in the source material — the enterprise is fundamentally a human-service delivery operation rather than a technology company. Services are provided at no cost to community members and delivered through in-person coalitions, school-based programming, youth development activities, and county-wide outreach.

The business model is grant-funded philanthropy rather than commercial revenue. The organization depends on financial and strategic partnerships with state agencies (Ohio Department of Youth Services, Ohio Department of Behavioral Health), regional foundations (Interact for Health, McCullough-Hyde Foundation, Deaconness Foundation), United Way, and county bodies (Butler County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery Services, Butler County Family & Children First Council). The customer base consists of Butler County community residents, students and schools, and at-risk populations — segments that receive services rather than purchase them. The organization employs 17 staff and is led by a Board of Trustees; CEO Lori Higgins is retiring after over 40 years of service, with a CEO search underway through July 31.
