Our Partners
NETWORK OF DOERS
A city will thrive only when the needs of its most vulnerable residents are considered and cared for. Together, with like-minded partners, we are dismantling systemic barriers, solution-finding as a collective, and building community trust and confidence. These partnerships have been strategically formed to target eight focus areas: Arts + Culture, Civic Engagement, Education, Health, Neighborhood, Safety, Transportation, and Workforce + Economic Development.
Eight Focus Areas
Arts + Culture
Celebrate history and diversity through the beautification of public spaces and the organic development of creative networks.
Civic Engagement
Grassroots advocacy for policy and problem-solving, which benefits residents of all backgrounds.
Education
Link educational opportunities with learners of all ages and interests, by employing a variety of avenues for engagement.
Health
Address the social, economic, and environmental determinants of health to generate thriving communities.
Neighborhood
Build safe, sustainable, and healthy housing accessible to all essential neighborhood amenities.
Safety
Cultivate community trust and prioritize safety in design, to promote secure and protected spaces.
Transportation
Connect people and places in multi-modal, safe, and accessible ways.

Generate local wealth, support entrepreneurs, and bridge the divide between workforce and opportunity.
