Finding Partners

Finding partners to collaborate with is always a good funding strategy, and we’re here to help make that connection.

There are a few things you can do to help us keep you informed:

1. Be sure we have your current email address in our database. We send out periodic announcements and helpful tips regarding potential funding sources and discount specials.
2. Check our website for updated information.
3. Communicate with us. Let us know about new funding sources or Requests for Proposals (RFP’s) as you learn about them. Our best source of information comes from clients.
4. Check your own community for potential collaborators who have access to additional funds or funding sources. Some have developed collaborations with community mental health agencies, human service agencies, police departments, local National Guard programs, and internal mini-grant applications from within their own organization/school district.
