Who It's For

A Founding Program Partnership is an invitation. Organizations and individuals are invited to become part of the Center’s community, hosting programs at the Hazel Henderson Center—the historic St. Augustine home that Hazel gifted as a permanent hub for the ethical economy movement.

Program Partners bring their teams, agendas, and participants. The Center, in turn, offers the inspiration of place, a legacy of transformative dialogue, meeting and lodging spaces, access to Hazel’s library, and platforms to publish and communicate the outcomes of these important gatherings.

❋ Research & Advocacy

Institutes, think tanks, and organizations working on beyond-GDP metrics, regenerative economics, ecological finance, and green economy transition

❋ Impact & Investment

Socially responsible investors, ESG practitioners, B Corps, mission-driven companies, foundations, and values-based financial advisors

❋ Learning & Action

Universities, social enterprises, NGOs, and change-maker organizations working on just and sustainable futures across disciplines.

❋ Scholars & Consultants

Individual scholars, sustainability consultants, activists, and civic innovators bringing small gatherings or solo working residencies.

  • All programs and partnerships must advance the Center’s core focus areas:

    • Ethical finance and investment

    • Regenerative and green economic systems

    • Social entrepreneurship and systems change

    • Environmental stewardship

    • Consciousness-based and values-driven leadership

  • We prioritize work that reflects integrative, systems-based approaches—connecting economic, environmental, social, and cultural dimensions. Initiatives should move beyond siloed thinking and contribute to holistic, actionable solutions.

  • The Center emphasizes practice as well as theory. Selected programs should demonstrate:

    • Real-world application and experimentation

    • Development of tools, models, or frameworks

    • Tangible impact on policy, markets, or communities

  • As a collaborative hub, we seek initiatives that:

    • Convene diverse participants across sectors and disciplines

    • Encourage intergenerational and cross-cultural exchange

    • Foster meaningful dialogue among scholars, practitioners, and changemakers

  • Programs must meet a high standard of thought leadership, including:

    • Strong conceptual or research foundations

    • Credible and experienced leadership

    • Contributions to advancing emerging ideas and fields

  • All activities must reflect:

    • Ethical conduct and responsible governance

    • Respect for the Center’s nonprofit mission

    • Alignment with the values and legacy of Hazel Henderson and Ethical Markets

  • The Center is both a convening space and a living legacy. We prioritize initiatives that:

    • Engage meaningfully with the Center’s physical setting, library, and history

    • Foster immersive, in-person collaboration and reflection

  • We value initiatives that contribute to an ongoing ecosystem by:

    • Inviting collaboration with our partners, advisors, and networks

    • Supporting a cooperative, co-creative model of programming

  • Programs should strengthen the broader movement by:

    • Expanding networks and alliances

    • Sharing knowledge and convening stakeholders

    • Contributing to long-term advancement of the ethical and regenerative economy

  • These criteria enable the Center to maintain rigor and mission integrity while remaining open, adaptive, and collaborative—advancing a just, ethical, and regenerative economy through dialogue, learning, and action.

The Space & The Place

Center Overview

The Center is an institution that celebrates and embodies Hazel's spirit and contributions while advancing knowledge, activism, and community for an ethical and green economy for future generations.

It is also, a remarkable place to be.

St. Augustine is the oldest continuously inhabited European-founded city in the United States. Its historic district is compact and fully walkable — cobblestone streets, Spanish colonial buildings, Flagler College's gilded halls, the Castillo de San Marcos standing guard over the bay since 1672. Within a short walk from The Center: waterfront seafood restaurants, neighborhood wine bars, art galleries, the kind of independent dining that grows from four hundred and fifty years of layered culinary history. Beaches on the Atlantic are fifteen minutes away.

Your team will have the opportunity to experience all the reasons Hazel chose this home, in this place.

  • Plenary Sunroom: 20-40 participants

  • Library: 18 participants + 10 in mezzanine

  • Breakout Rooms: Living room , dining room, porch
