01What it does

What Collaboration for Good does

Mission

Collaboration for Good is a capacity-building organization that focuses on accelerating economic equity. We believe the road to building a just and equal society lies in normalizing and stabilizing economic equity. Decent work, economic growth, and economic wealth for the disenfranchised; reducing racial, ethnic, and other disparities typically used to disenfranchise; and help build more sustainable communities by allowing the economic and experienced participation of all. We are building sustainable, equitable communities by modeling new ways to create meaningful work, pay well, build leadership, and support all members of the community.

As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.

Program

BUSINESS ACCELERATION - Our accelerator program suffered through a tragedy and a pandemic. In December 2019, we lost our co-founder and primary trainer, Dr. Amy Gannon. Then March 2020 brought COVID, social isolation, and numerous business closures. We managed to work one-to-one or in small groups with over 80% of current and past SGA Cohort members- keeping spirits up, businesses alive, and plotting strategies to overcome the new hardships and potential new realities of life and economy post-pandemic. Lots of grief and transition work, as well as business pivoting. We didn't offer a new cohort. Provided services to over 112 aspiring and active entrepreneurs, as well as community leaders.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

28% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COLLABORATION FOR GOOD.
