Empowering people to move out of poverty and improve their quality of life since 1973.
RUBICON PROGRAMS INC
Using Business Methods to Solve Social Problems
Rubicon is different from most nonprofits for many reasons. One of the key differences is that we operate businesses that provide job training for participants and also generate needed program revenue. These ventures create high-quality products and services for customers while providing paths out of poverty for people living in poverty and with disabilities.
In addition to the two current enterprises, Rubicon Landscape Services and Rubicon Bakery, we are undertaking an initiative to launch a nationally scaled social enterprise. Click here to learn more about our goals, approach, funders and team.

Rubicon National Social Innovations (RNSI) is a social enterprise development and commercialization initiative, focused on market driven business models that have the potential to be nationally scaled social businesses with maximum impact for working poor and disenfranchised communities.
