Supportive Systems
Create conditions that support vulnerable people on their journey to education, health, and economic security
Our Donors invest in communities and nonprofit sector systems to improve outcomes for vulnerable people.
Our Donors seek efforts that align with their vision.
Supportive systems may contribute to multiple Donor priorities. The stronger the connection between what you are working to achieve and our Donors’ vision, the stronger your request.
Resilient Communities
A person’s postal code can affect their opportunities, health, education, and employment outcomes. Issues such as homelessness, poverty, and low-performing schools can block the path for those trying to reach their full potential. Our Donors believe communities can mobilize to tackle underlying conditions contributing to disparities and provide environments where individuals and families can thrive.
Our Donors are interested in supporting communities with a high percentage of people who are economically disadvantaged and communities with limited access to services, defined by lower population levels, reduced population density, and other verified indicators of disadvantage.
Supported efforts may include:
Community economic development
Information and resource hubs
Community-driven enhancements to increase the physical or mental health of residents
Relevant community-driven, multisectoral partnerships, or issue-driven initiatives
Effective Sector
Our Donors believe in a strong nonprofit sector where organizations have the resources, support, and information needed to improve outcomes for the people they serve. Sector-serving organizations should enhance the ability of other organizations to ensure growth and leadership development, attract investment, and build core organizational infrastructure. Their work should help disseminate and scale proven interventions.
Supported efforts may include:
Sector-serving umbrella organizations working to improve sectoral effectiveness and/or encourage philanthropy. This may include United Ways, community foundations, and nonprofit management or consulting organizations and associations.
Organizations working to scale proven models and improve sector practice with their content or issue expertise, catalyzing growth and opportunity.
