Program Overview

When purpose meets profit, sustainability thrives.

At The Wright Village, we believe building a business that gives back shouldn’t mean sacrificing growth.
The Purpose Meets Profit Sustainable Business Program helps entrepreneurs design, fund, and scale ventures that are both financially sound and socially responsible.

This 20-week experience blends expert-led workshops, peer collaboration, and hands-on tools to help founders create long-term strategies that balance people, planet, and profit.

Through our program, participants will learn how to operate more efficiently, market authentically, and make decisions that create lasting community impact — all while building stronger, more resilient businesses.

Whether you’re launching a new idea or transitioning an existing business to more sustainable practices, Purpose Meets Profit gives you the roadmap, resources, and relationships to grow with intention.
