The L'Enfant Initiative

The National Capital area has a breadth of projects we are interested in supporting through preeminent generosity tools such as Principal Gifts, Program Related Investments, Social Impact Funds, and enterprise excellence-centered programs. These endeavors, which we collectively call the L'Enfant Initiative, we believe can easily be funded through exceptional wealth-driven philanthropy tools provided by individuals, family offices, private family foundations, trusts, estates, endowments, and more.

The potential projects you see below have been designed by our team at Cannon & Caius in response to community need that has been identified over time.  As anticipated revenue-generating businesses that  would have a measurable social benefit, they are excellent public-private partnership structures that from our experience represent a wonderful means for improving our community while doing great public good at the same time.

Revenue generated from these projects might be used to help fund additional vital restoration projects for The Trust for the National Mall, for example.  Or community needs programs in health and social services through the National Capital Community Foundation, among others.  Our focus initially is that area of town that is in and around Pierre L'Enfant's Eastern Gateway, thus the name of our project.

The L'Enfant Initiative is just a figment of our imagination at this point in time.  But, as we have all seen, figments of one's imagination often lead to extraordinary accomplishment, especially when generosity is added to the equation.

accessible health

Sports medicine encompasses everything from sport-specific training, rehabilitation through our partnership with the very talented Mountain River Sports Medicine, to genetics typing, regenerative medicine, surgery, imaging, and much more.  These services are targeted to each individual, not to a group, to address the particular need of that particular athlete so that that athlete might better excel and stay well!

rational costs

The costs of our services are all-inclusive in your visit to RFK Park at Pierre L'Enfant's Eastern Gateway.  Our primary mission is to help you train better, perform more superbly, and achieve remarkably.  These cost structures are shared with ordinary weekend warriors as well.  We are all the same.  We just play different games, at different levels, in different sports.
