FUSE was founded in 2011 by a group of cross-sector leaders who designed an executive fellowship program in local government to accelerate place-based solutions.
Since our founding, FUSE’s proven model has supported over 300 city and county agencies across 27 states, impacting the lives of more than 1 in 10 Americans.
We work within local government agencies because cities and counties have a direct ability to improve people’s lives across entire communities.
We embed skilled executives because they bring fresh perspectives and valuable expertise that is catalytic to change-management efforts.
Our work addresses today’s most pressing challenges and opportunities, including affordable housing, economic mobility, climate resilience, public safety, infrastructure, technology, and more.
The effectiveness of our approach is evident in our partners’ continued trust. More than 90% of communities request additional fellowship projects after their first partnership with FUSE.
