Rising energy bills? Aging infrastructure? Unsustainable operations?
The Coalition’s Energy Sustainability Program (ESP) provides the resources necessary for private, nonprofit schools to move their campus toward a sustainable energy environment and support decarbonization, reduced energy operating expenses, resiliency, tackling deferred maintenance, and other related campus goals.
​
From campus infrastructure assessment through project implementation and beyond, the ESP Partners will guide colleges and universities by providing innovative financing solutions, experienced technical partnership, and the ongoing information they need to successfully develop and follow an actionable roadmap that addresses their specific objectives.
​
The ESP’s first five projects are currently underway at Lewis and Clark College, Marquette University, Spelman College, Morehouse College, and The New School. Each school is undergoing a comprehensive campus strategic assessment led by Ecosystem which will serve as the foundation for developing actionable roadmaps tailored to their specific campus objectives.
​
The Coalition ESP will work closely with these institutions and facilitate their journey toward energy sustainability, and we look forward to collaborating with you too. Together, we can contribute to a more environmentally conscious education sector and a brighter, more sustainable future for all.

The Coalition is pleased to announce a new partnership with Doctums to bring management and technology consulting to your member institutions. Doctums works solely in higher education and focuses on providing services that maximize the value of current investments. Doctums brings deep experience to provide bespoke support in education strategy, administration, and the student experience.
​
Too often, higher education institutions purchase new technology with high hopes for its impact and ROI, only for it to fall short of expectations. Struggles with knowledge gaps, mismanaged data governance, and other concerns can create a gap between a technology’s current implementation and its potential. Doctums helps institutions reduce this technology gap and move toward a continuous business process and technology management approach, unlocking the potential of technology you already have.

The Coalition and HESS have formed a strategic partnership to increase the opportunities for private nonprofit higher education institutions to leverage their collective buying power to reduce operating costs and streamline operations.
​
HESS collectively lowers costs and increases collaboration between private colleges and universities in the area of administrative systems and services by focusing on maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of administrative software services and related technology to meet the increasing needs of diverse users while minimizing the resources used.
Many states are proposing mandatory long term care legislation proposing that all working residents purchase long-term care insurance. Washington State has already implemented. New York and Pennsylvania have filed, and 12 additional states are currently in review with their own version of a mandatory long-term care insurance bill. If these bills pass and a working resident elects not to purchase private LTCi, employers will be obligated to deduct a monthly tax from non-compliant employee paychecks. This new proposal is a result of each state’s Medicaid program budgets being exhausted due to LTC claims.
​
The Coalition’s LTC Program with Allstate that is managed by AffinityLTC satisfies the minimum requirements for the proposed bills that are currently being reviewed. Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York have special restrictions and conditions regarding LTC insurance, and AffinityLTC is working with A-rated carriers to come up with a solution to allow these states to offer LTCi to meet the potential laws being passed.
