In 2022 We Partnered With 271 Organizations

Co-Design — it’s not a term you hear often, but it’s a term that is at the core of what we do. It’s a process where we collaborate with our community partners to engage stakeholders — from funders and government agencies to neighborhood leaders and residents.

We create participatory spaces anchored in support, connection, and mutual respect, where diverse experiences and types of expertise are valued. This approach recognizes everyone’s innate agency, surfaces a range of perspectives and opinions, and makes space for all who want to join in.

We welcome the opportunity to work through differing perspectives and priorities and build deeper understanding. By fostering connections across traditional hierarchies, we support new relationships, the redistribution of power, and increased access to resources long after an individual project ends.

Our work enhances fundraising applications, garners public support for community-led projects, and is an advocacy tool for community members who are building healthy, welcoming places.
