The Community Benefits Ecosystem connects public, private, nonprofit, faith-based, academic, philanthropic, and media institutions around complementary capabilities and needs.
What you can explore
Identify institutional needs, connect with complementary capacity, and help develop initiatives, projects, programs, or research around defined community benefits.
Institutions retain their identities and responsibilities. Create an institutional account to access more information and explore alignment; partnership develops through assessment and the progressive Letter of Interest, Memorandum of Understanding, and Community Benefits Agreement pathway.
We are welcoming institutions at the founding stage. Create your free institutional account to learn more, activate it by email, and log in to access detailed information before deciding how to advance through onboarding.
For individuals
Your development adds capacity to the community.
Begin as a community member. Your interests, experience, skills, and goals can inform how you engage with the ecosystem.
As the ecosystem develops, participation can include learning, community engagement, volunteer service, creative projects, entrepreneurship, and other opportunities offered through defined activities.
