How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Capacity Building for Nonprofit Effectiveness
    methodology: capacity_building
    By providing resources, training, and tools to local nonprofits, we strengthen their organizational capacity and effectiveness, because enhanced operational capabilities lead to greater community impact and more sustainable service delivery.
  • Community-Wide Collaboration for Collective Impact
    methodology: community_collaboration
    By uniting volunteers, nonprofits, and public and private agencies through coordinated collaboration, we amplify the reach and effectiveness of health and human services, because shared action across sectors generates broader systemic change than isolated efforts.
  • Employee-Led Governance for Accountability
    methodology: employee-led governance
    By using a governance model where state employees hold majority decision-making power over funded programs, we ensure fiscal and professional integrity, because democratic oversight by public-sector stakeholders strengthens accountability and alignment with public service standards.
  • Performance-Based Funding Accountability
    methodology: performance-based funding
    By requiring partner agencies to reapply annually, we assess performance and alignment with regional priorities, because ongoing evaluation ensures accountability, promotes results-driven programming, and strengthens collective impact.
  • Targeted Support Using the ALICE Framework
    methodology: ALICE framework
    By identifying households that are employed but still unable to meet basic living expenses (ALICE), we direct services more precisely to those in need, because defining financial hardship beyond poverty thresholds improves targeting and effectiveness of community support programs.
