We believe our approach – Creative Community Development, Operations Analysis, and Philanthropic Impact – delivers the greatest aggregation of impact opportunities to capitalize earning strategies and build community.
OUR STORY
Morrison Holdings’ story began in the early 2000’s. In 2003 our Founder & CEO, Andrew Coonan, volunteered with Food Bank of the Rockies and immediately understood there was need in his hometown of Golden, Colorado. Mr. Coonan’s ethos was further shaped by the philosophy of community wealth from Billy Shore, CEO of Share Our Strength. Ultimately, Andrew believed in this vehicle to create real community wealth through privately held ventures combined with community initiatives. Mr. Coonan dubbed the phrase Creative Community Development to guide his business and philanthropic activities. He served the nonprofit industry of Colorado for more than 15 years, while earning a M.S. in Decision Sciences from University of Colorado-Denver in 2014. As a dynamic part of Morrison Holdings portfolio, Andrew has also partnered and supported special events and festivals in the Colorado music industry since 2007. Morrison Holdings began offering operations management consulting to small businesses in 2016 recognizing a need for small business owners to understand the impact of their decision strategies. Today, Morrison Holdings’ vision is stronger than ever creating impact in private ventures and events, supporting small business needs, and giving back to our communities.
