Transforming communities isn’t easy, especially when facing limited resources and complex challenges.

We work together with funders, nonprofit leaders and collaboratives to make a meaningful, lasting impact on our communities. Let’s take on these problems together.

For Collaborative Initiatives:

  • Competing priorities leading to unpredictable commitment levels
  • Restrained by silo structures that limit the impact of the collective’s efforts
  • Lacking guidance on governance, funding and execution strategies

THE COST OF MISSTEPS AND INACTION

Overcoming these challenges requires collaboration.
Let’s work together to mitigate systemic challenges, promote mental health and sustain your community initiatives.

TESTIMONIALS

“Alliance has done a superb job in coordinating and providing training and technical assistance for the Collaborative Approaches to Well-Being in Rural Communities (WRC) initiative. The WRC initiative aims to support the transformation of rural environments where people live, learn, work, play, and pray—bringing a population health approach to support resilience, mental health and well-being.”

Hogg Foundation for Mental Health

“We believe that there is no other way society will achieve large-scale progress against the urgent and complex problems of our time, unless a Collective Impact approach becomes the accepted way of doing business.”

John Kania

Managing Director, FSG

"Thank you for helping us create our county-wide collaborative while launching our 501(c)(3) nonprofit - Morris County Collaborative. Your guidance, patience, and love has helped us to begin the hard work of transforming our community from the ground up."

The Honorable Mike Rawlings

At the heart of our work is people.

Across all of our work is an approach that puts emphasis on creating a safe space for those that we work with to voice their realities, needs and concerns. With this guiding principle we uplift, inspire, and transform. As a result, everyone in the community benefits.
