- Collaboratively building a budget needed for this outreach and working in tandem with neighboring Counties’ efforts.
- Strengthening local nonprofit organizations internal capacity and external influence through grantmaking and collaborations.
- Creating a regional and local funder table to ensure funders are organized and strategically aligned so we can strategically maximize funding for our County.
- Building a robust and meaningful network with diverse leaders from all corners of our community
