The Grove is a coworking and collaborative space for small to medium sized nonprofits, social innovators/entrepreneurs, and independents servicing the social mission sector in New Haven. The Grove provides all the technical amenities you and your organization need to function as well as hosting a creative, idea-rich environment that inspires networking, incubation, and collaboration.
According to Wikipedia, “coworking is an emerging trend for a new pattern of working. Coworking is the social gathering of a group of people, who are still working independently, but who share values and who are interested in the synergy that can happen from working with talented people in the same space.” Basically coworking is about sharing, sharing space, amenities, ideas, talent, and other things. We believe the social mission sector can benefit from coworking through providing shared space, an innovative environment, and facilitating networking. We hope this leads to collaborative efforts that create systemic solutions to today’s pressing challenges. To learn more about coworking we recommend checking out Coworking.com or Deskmag.

The description of our Community is borrowed from the term ‘social mission sector’ – an umbrella term used to describe the individuals and organizations whose primary mission is to produce some benefit for people and planet. It’s about playing your part and contributing your voice to create positive change. Our social mission community includes individuals like you. We work with nonprofits, for-profits, entrepreneurs and individuals working for change.
