by helping pioneering initiatives thrive.

Leaders of new not-for-profit projects – and their funders – must navigate a challenging path from early-stage funding to long-term viability.  At the same time, long-established institutions are finding that they must fundamentally rethink the way they serve their constituents in a changing world.  Ithaka supports entrepreneurial leaders in higher education with a range of services:

Research on trends and lessons learned to help the higher education community understand, and manage, the transition to an electronic environment.
Strategic Services to help organizations and initiatives address pressing strategic issues and develop sustainable models.
Administrative support services – in finance, human resources, and information technology – to strengthen organizational infrastructure and enable projects to focus on core mission activities.

We offer the full suite of Ithaka’s services and resources to selected incubated entities, promising initiatives with the potential for system-wide impact.  Our current incubated projects are Aluka, Portico, and NITLE:
