Success Stories
The Marion Institute is honored to share some of the success stories from our portfolio of incredible former Programs and Serendipity Projects. The work represented as success stories are examples of former Programs or Serendipity Projects that have either formed their own non-profit as the next phase of their mission or successfully completed their goal and evolved accordingly.
Successful Programs and Serendipity Projects that have experienced significant growth and continue to follow their ongoing mission may part from the Marion Institute nest to form their own independent non-profit organization. Alternatively, upon completion of a goal – such as a film, book or curriculum – a Program or Serendipity Project no longer needs the Marion Institute to incubate the work as it is now out in the world!
We are blessed to have worked with so many amazing groups and individuals and are proud of the vast and varied root-cause solution accomplishments resulting from our partnership.

ZERI LearningBehavior is, after all informed by education. The Zero Emissions Research Initiative [ZERI] is based on the scientific understanding that in nature everything is interconnected and nothing is wasted. It has become clear, that unless we begin to adapt human behavior so that it replicates the efficiency and innovations of natural systems that surround us, we are bound to fail in our quest to create a sustainable and restorative society. |
