The power of our ecosystem

Unifying our community’s energies and resources to magnify our collective impact.

We rally together to solve problems with urgency, action, and innovation, which enables us to effectively respond to immediate or emerging crises.

Our dedicated network of local school districts, government agencies, nonprofit service providers, corporations, foundations, faith-based organizations and cross-sector Leadership Councils work alongside passionate volunteers and donors.

Community Investments

Our dedicated community investors are vital to driving the success of our work. Together, we tackle systemic issues by engaging and connecting local nonprofits and other community-based partners through grants, contracts, subcontracts, cooperative agreements, and more.

 

We believe that investing in our local communities is the key to creating lasting change.
