Partner-Led, Community Focused

As our Promise Zone designation came with no funding attached, funds are gained solely through the collaborative efforts of our partners; this partnership now includes more than 150 private, nonprofit, and public sector organizations. By collaborating, partners can increase capacity, decrease costs, enhance services, gain funds and change more lives.
