creating Connections & Building community
What if Meaningful Change starts with meaningful relationships?
At Meaningful Connections LLC we believe that lasting social change begins with meaningful relationships led by bold and creative community engagement strategies developed TOGETHER as a community. It’s our philosophy that we “don’t create for communities- we create with them.”
WhO WE ARE
We partner with individuals and organizations ready to build stronger, healthier and more equitable communities by providing creative, community-driven strategies that inspire longterm and sustainable social change.
At the heart of our work lies a deep commitment to making a meaningful difference—in the lives we touch, the communities we serve, and the impact we seek. Guided by unwavering integrity, we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards, ensuring trust is the foundation of every relationship. We believe that the best solutions emerge through collaboration, where diverse perspectives come together to spark innovation and mutual growth. Creativity fuels our approach, driving us to challenge the status quo and find bold, imaginative ways to solve complex problems. And throughout everything we do, we prioritize well-being—nurturing a culture where individuals can thrive personally and professionally, because we know that when people flourish, so does the work we create together.

Our approach
We use an asset based approach to community building with a focus on building authentic relationships with the community through collaboration and strategic partnerships.
Our community engagement strategy follows a dynamic three-pronged approach:
We collaborate with local nonprofits and community organizations to amplify their impact and foster partnerships that drive innovative, community-led solutions.
We guide organizations across sectors—from education to government and business—in assessing and enhancing their social impact.
We connect socially driven artists and creatives with aligned partners to harness the power of art and culture in shaping meaningful change.
WE believe that Culture helps shape Community.
We work closely alongside creatives and innovators with a passion for social change because we believe that creativity leads to effective problem solving and innovation. In order to imagine a world where everyone feels seen, heard and supported by their community from their local neighborhood to the global community, we need bold and creative thinkers not afraid to explore the possibilities for a more equitable and healthy future.

What Others are saying
“Recently, I had the opportunity to listen to Tiffany Cooper at an Ohio University College of Business fireside chat where she emphasized the difference between working with a community versus working for a community. Her insights on building trust, keeping partnerships fresh and advocating for communities resonated deeply. It’s a reminder that genuine partnerships are about long-term collaboration, not a top down approach. "
