Everybody Has a Piece. When We Connect, We See the Bigger Picture.
YOU’RE INVITED INTO SOMETHING WE’VE BEEN BUILDING.
ESE is a growing network of people, businesses, brands, and organizations connected by the belief that individual progress can contribute to stronger communities. We are building the structure to make existing resources easier to access, connect people to the right opportunities, and bring individuals together to accomplish things that may be difficult to achieve alone. Today, we are building the system while actively using it, supporting existing programs and individuals as we develop the infrastructure for something bigger.
01 | THE ESE NETWORK DIRECTORY
A centralized, accessible directory of businesses, brands, professionals, organizations, products, services, and community resources. The directory helps us identify what already exists within our network, what people can offer, and where meaningful connections can be made.
02 | CERTIFIED INTEGRATIONS | THE CONNECTION & COMMERCE SYSTEM
The business integration arm that uses the ESE Directory to connect clients with trusted businesses, professionals, and resources within the network. By directing needs and opportunities toward existing network members, Certified Integrations helps people access the services they need while creating business opportunities and keeping dollars circulating within the community.
03 | SUPPORT REQUESTS | A WAY TO ASK FOR HELP
An accessible process for individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to request support. Through a form, document, or direct contact, people can submit needs ranging from emergency roadside assistance and small home repairs to contractors for a new building, personal guidance, or connections to other support organizations. ESE works through the network to identify resources, make introductions, coordinate solutions, and determine the most practical path forward.
04 | ESE ACTIVATIONS | TURNING CONNECTIONS INTO ACTION
Intentional projects and experiences that bring different parts of the network together around a shared purpose. Activations include events, short films, workshops, creative showcases, educational programs, community projects, and collaborative initiatives that create opportunities, build relationships, and turn ideas into action.
05 | SUPPORT INITIATIVES & COMMUNITY FUNDING
Larger projects and shared funding efforts designed to address community needs that require more resources, planning, or coordination than one person can provide alone. Working with Enigma, network members, consultants, financial professionals, and funding partners, we aim to develop fundraising strategies, identify grants and sponsors, establish appropriate funding structures, and coordinate resources for specific projects.
These initiatives may include support houses, community hubs, support vehicles, memorial assistance, emergency support, small home repairs, and other projects that strengthen individuals, families, and neighborhoods.
We connect people to resources, needs to solutions, businesses to opportunities, and individual efforts to collective impact.
Some pieces are already moving. Others are still being developed. Every connection adds to what we can accomplish together.

OUR APPROACH
ESE is built on connection, contribution, and collective progress. You do not have to start big to make a difference. A small monthly contribution, a service you provide, a resource you share, or a larger commitment can all become part of the bigger picture.
For sponsors, donors, and partners, we begin with a conversation to understand your goals, available resources, and the initiatives you want to support.
Start where you are. Bring what you have. Let’s build from there.

CERTIFIED INTEGRATIONS PARTNER INVITATION
We are inviting you to become a Certified Integrations Partner because we believe there is an opportunity for us to work together more consistently. We want to be able to confidently connect our clients and network to your business while also creating opportunities for your business through the larger ESE network.
WHAT IS CERTIFIED INTEGRATIONS?
Certified Integrations is the business integration department of ESE. Our role is to connect clients with the right people, brands, businesses, organizations, and resources to help bring their needs and ideas from start to finish.
We get to know our partners, understand what they do, what they specialize in, their pricing, availability, and the type of work they are best suited for. This allows us to identify the right integration for each client.
YOU KEEP CONTROL OF YOUR BUSINESS
As an independent Certified Integrations Partner, you keep control of your business, pricing, jobs you accept/deny and invoice Certified Integrations for completed work. Certified Integrations becomes another pathway for qualified clients and opportunities to reach your business.
LET CERTIFIED INTEGRATIONS HANDLE THE CLIENT CONNECTION
A major part of our role is handling the consultation and connection process. When a client comes to Certified Integrations, we learn what they need, determine what type of professional or service would be the best fit, and connect them with the appropriate integration.
Depending on the project, Certified Integrations may handle client communication, coordination, payment collection, and project administration while you focus on providing your service.
WE CAN HELP YOUR BUSINESS TOO
Being a Certified Integrations Partner is not only about receiving work from us. Because Certified Integrations operates within the ESE network, we can also help connect your business to resources and professionals you may need.
Marketing • Graphic Design • Websites • Advertising • Accounting/CPAs • Business Development • Venues • Pop-Up Shops • Events • Printing • Merchandise • Contractors • Other Service Providers
YOUR BUSINESS IN THE ESE NETWORK
As a Certified Integrations Partner, your business will also be highlighted within the Certified Integrations section of the ESE website. If you already have a website, we can direct people to it. If you do not have a website, Certified Integrations can help create a dedicated page or section for your business through the ESE website. Partners may also be included in ESE promotional materials, event backdrops, connection activations, partner features, and other network branding opportunities.
We are moving our ongoing partner relationships away from one-off service swaps and toward a consistent invoicing system. This allows us to track each part of a project, manage client payments and project expenses, and coordinate partner payments through one organized process.
Your business remains yours. Our goal is to make the connection stronger.
We would like to officially welcome you as a Certified Integrations Partner and begin building a working relationship that benefits both of our businesses and the communities we serve.
