How We Started
We noticed a pattern: national organizations with proven programs struggled to expand. They understood their program but not institutional decision-making. They had great content but couldn't navigate school district procurement, workforce board politics, or community agency priorities.
We founded The Hoskins Institute to solve that gap. We specialize in institutional partnerships for organizations that depend on schools, workforce systems, and community institutions to achieve scale. We bring the relationships, processes, and stakeholder expertise that turn expansion plans into institutional partnerships and adopted programs.
Our Methodology
Our approach is built from helping organizations secure adoption across 500+ institutional partnerships. We've developed frameworks for stakeholder mapping, decision-maker engagement, and partnership facilitation that work across educational, workforce, and community institutions.
Our Founder
Nasaiah Hoskins founded The Hoskins Institute after years of helping organizations navigate institutional partnerships at local and national levels. He saw that expansion success depends not only on program quality but on institutional navigation capability.
He has led organizations, served on nonprofit boards, and was appointed by Pennsylvania governors Tom Wolf and Josh Shapiro. He specializes in translating program goals into institutional language, building relationships with decision-makers, and coordinating the stakeholder dynamics that determine adoption. Born in New York and raised in Pennsylvania's Poconos, he comes from a family of entrepreneurs and brings a builder's mindset to institutional partnership work.
How We Work
Excellence. Prepared, on time, and careful about what ships. Collaboration. The best outcomes aren’t solo, they’re symphonic. Creativity. Simple, workable ideas that hold up in daily operations. Hospitality. We anticipate needs, respect capacity, and honor culture and language. Trust. Plain language, open handoffs, and confidentiality kept. Impact. Measured clearly and felt by the people it is for.
