Sagamore Institute

Leading leaders.

Since 2004, Sagamore is honored to provide this space for disparate groups and offer wise counsel to a world in progress. 

Our Mission: To Build & Implement Solutions to Society's Biggest Problems.

Here I want to insert text re “Sagamore in a sentence” language we are discussing in monthly team meetings, e.g. “Sagamore Institute is a action-oriented research and consulting 501(c)(3) organization advancing practical solutions to improve communities through innovation in government, business, and civil society.”

Our Model:

Ideas, Innovations, Investments.

As an action-oriented organization, Sagamore advances innovative ideas for real results. Sagamore advances its mission across three lanes of action:

Ideas

As a think tank, ideas are our business. Sagamore built on this foundation by forming an expert network of fellows providing independent, innovative research and analysis to public and private sector leaders.

Innovations

We engage in applied research—working alongside innovative practitioners, learning from them, and measuring the impact of ideas and theories put into practice.

Investments

We believe good business creates a better society. Sagamore operates an impact investing platform called Commonwealth to offer financial services to expand economic opportunity.

Our Team: A Network of Partners & Fellows

Sagamore operates a network of partners and fellows or “scholar-practitioners”, an accomplished Board of Trustees, and mission-driven headquarters team. Learn more about our people below.

Our Story: Offering Wise Counsel to a World in Progress Since 2004

In early 2004, as Dan Coats was preparing to return to the United States following his service as US Ambassador to Germany, he and Jay Hein determined that America needed a think tank based in Hoosier values and geography. In contrast to the noise and rancor coming from Washington, D.C., Sagamore Institute was formed that same year to tackle difficult issues with civility and focus on solutions not ideology.
