Rubicon is different from most nonprofits for many reasons. One of the key differences is that we operate businesses that provide job training for participants and also generate needed program revenue. These ventures create high-quality products and services for customers while providing paths out of poverty for people living in poverty and with disabilities.
In addition to the two current enterprises, Rubicon Landscape Services and Rubicon Bakery, we are undertaking an initiative to launch a nationally scaled social enterprise. Click here to learn more about our goals, approach, funders and team.
