Our mission:

proving ground

We are an environmental planning and sustainable urbanism advocacy coalition who believes that projects designed to bring dignity and justice to the built environment can insure peace, provide safety, promote welfare, and secure rights to all people.
We aim to maintain lasting, trusted relationships with many peoples, leveraging their stakeholders, government representatives, local leaders, and public policy makers, to produce fair and informed strategies for meaningful, ecological design.  

proving ground design studio is a privately held corporation doing business as proving ground, with a sister organization of the same title as an unincorporated nonprofit association, with intent to incorporate as a charitable organization under section 501(c)(3), and maintains operations exclusively for the purpose of social welfare, ecological sustainability, and educational research that promotes the common good and proliferation of the community at large.

This organization was established on the traditional lands, waters, and airs of the Massachusett Peoples, unceded and existing territory of the Wampanoag, Aquinnah, and Nipmuc Nations (Treaty of Casco 1698-1703, Treaty of Portsmouth 1713, Treaty of Boston 1725).
