Welcome to the Orton Family Foundation’s Heart & Soul Talks. Heart & Soul Talks focuses on Orton’s resident-driven community planning and development method, Community Heart & Soul®. Our calls bring local leaders and national experts together, offering tools and inspiration for community leaders to go beyond “business as usual.” The Orton Family Foundation seeks to empower people to shape the future of their communities by improving local decision-making, creating a shared sense of belonging and ultimately strengthening the social, cultural and economic vibrancy of communities.​
