Your community is your home...

and you care about the quality of life in your community just as you do in your own home. Institute for Civic Achievement (ICA) provides a broad scope of services for rural communities that enhance your community’s economic well-being and quality of life. These can be divided into two parts.

Our “FOCUS On Community” program is a broad economic development initiative designed to help develop your community’s fullest potential. We assist with community-wide enhancements to quality of life by evaluating market conditions, attracting appropriate new businesses, and assisting with town center revitalization. A distinguishing feature of ICA is its ability, by virtue of its tax-exempt status, to augment local resources and deliver first-rate programs without straining local budgets.

Our “FOCUS On Business” initiatives include business training comprising classroom instruction and one-on-one counseling for existing businesses and start-ups.

Institute for Civic Achievement is a Colorado nonprofit corporation established in June 2005.
