                                          NICE promotes innovations by everyday people who are helping the needy and disadvantaged gain self-reliance.


                                          Our Vision


                                          We envision a nationwide networking environment for human service civic and social
                                          entrepreneurs, business professionals, donors, and volunteers committed to successfully
                                          expediting solutions to the nation's most pressing human service social challenges.



                                          Our Mission


                                          The mission of the NICENetwork is to connect like-minded individuals who have successfully built a human service cause.
                                          NICE encourages these connections to foster the sharing of proven social service solutions and best practices.
                                          Through this process, we aim to:
                                          • Expedite resources to the needy, disadvantaged, and transitional to help them build a future of self-reliance and hope.
                                          • Foster greater replication of successful human service causes using various formats for engagement and funding.
                                          • Offer a body of chronicled knowledge and proven strategies to equip the next generation of nonprofit leaders for successful outcomes.
                                          • Take the financial and social burden from governments.
                                          • Reduce redundancy and duplication of effort in the nonprofit community.
                                          • Engage business, citizens, donors, and educators in the process.



                                          How we do it:

                                          The National Institute for Civic Enterprise (NICE) engages and networks
                                          creative human service professionals across the nation for the purpose of sharing and
                                          replicating successful innovations into more communities, which accelerate help to the
                                          disadvantaged. We accomplish this through a state-of-the-art web-based platform that
                                          provides an emergent knowledge base, forums, nonprofit visibility, online training,
                                          and leadership mentoring. NICE also hosts Central Florida and national leadership
                                          training events to "cross-pollinate" social enterprise innovations. And it spotlights the
                                          annual "NICE Civic Entrepreneur Awards" in the media to engage businesses, donor,
                                          and volunteer support of these outstanding initiatives.
