ENGAGEMENT 

We continue to strengthen our relationships with impacted communities to deepen the integrity of development work. Our mission is to vertically integrate community perspective throughout any given development strategy. When projects are informed by community perspective; community knowledge is also reciprocally uplifted through project transparency and education.

COALITIONS

There's strength in numbers. We help bring together diverse groups, creating change that would be impossible to deliver as independent individuals or separate organizations. Through coalition building, the following is achieved: centralized strategy; improved communication on critical and controversial issues; multi-leveraged funding opportunities; more readily available resources; elimination of duplicated efforts; improved public image for projects and initiatives; and better needs assessments.

Diverse perspectives and expertise deliver strategies that are relevant and durable. To get there, we partner with trusted community based organizations to mobilize community members' often untapped perspectives.

Our work seeks to create a circular feedback loop between community members and project executors, and to deliver unified strategy and leverage greater funding.
