Connections & Resources

As a funding organization, we recognize that the impact of our support extends far beyond the financial resources we provide.

We see good partnerships as a way of supporting organizations beyond funding, fostering deeper collaboration and long-term sustainability. By offering technical assistance, capacity-building opportunities, networking, and thought leadership, we help our partners strengthen their operations and amplify their outcomes.

To further support our partners, we have compiled a list of vendors we collaborate with, who provide additional resources and services beyond our grantmaking. We believe that when our partners have access to resources that address all their initiatives, they are better positioned to create lasting change in their communities. This holistic approach ensures that the relationships we build are not transactional but transformational, allowing us to journey alongside our partners as they navigate challenges and seize new opportunities for growth.

The list includes organizations we have connected with, as well as a few of our grantee partners. While we do not officially endorse any resources for schools and education programs, we want to share those we are in communication with.
