Our Story

The roots of our story began with a deep desire to find the most authentic and grounded version of ourselves. Along the journey, we ask tough, and vulnerable questions in pursuit of understanding our greater purpose. An honest reflection of our individual lived experiences inform, challenge, and guide our collective work.

As visionaries, collaborators, leaders, and doers, we are a problem-solving entity rooted in our humanity. We operate at the intersection of empathy and innovation to transform how organizations think, build, and belong . Our core values of honesty, curiosity, and forgiveness have led us to one conclusion: The answer is always Love.

At Vault89, we don’t just believe in progress—we design it.

How we support your story

We design programs, spaces, and experiences that support an individual’s growth towards the most authentic version of themselves. By empowering people to be confident, capable, and connected to their “why”, we support meaningful missions and generational impact.
We partner with nonprofits, businesses, and institutions that are ready to evolve — to refine their mission, design sustainable models, and align culture, strategy, and purpose with impact. From strategic planning and organizational readiness to leadership development and operational transformation. We reimagine how missions can thrive in our ever-changing world.
We collaborate with civic leaders, coalitions, and local organizations to co-design, and support efforts that aim to make a positive impact in our communities. From youth development and voting rights to community-based research and collective impact initiatives. We don’t impose solutions; we uncover them.
