Programs
Through the community story fund, the organization engages a diverse set of community partners, from across its region, in a story-telling project. Specifically, the organization resources communities to tell a specific story about their identity, strengths, needs, and/or vision. Past, present, or future, these stories provide critical information about where the organization and others might build deeper and authentic relationship with communities, invest in community-defined capacity, or more effectively support an advocacy agenda driven by community vision. Grant funds received orginally in 2020, with renewed funding in 2021 to continue the work in 2022 and beyond. Six grants were given in the current year to organizations to support general operation.

The organization over time
