THRIVE ON COLLABORATION PRIORITIES
A Model for Change
The ThriveOn Collaboration represents a new, place-based approach to addressing interrelated health, economic, social and racial inequities.
Imagine a community hub where neighbors can meet for coffee, where their children and grandchildren receive top-tier early education, where family and friends live, and where resources to learn, explore or grow a business await. Imagine walking down historic streets bustling with new life, as locally owned businesses open their doors and locally driven art dots the sidewalks. Imagine a place where people can come together to build solutions whenever they face personal or neighborhood issues. Imagine all of this—and so much more.
To make this vision a reality, the ThriveOn Collaboration brings together not only a range of organizations and stakeholders and a number of strategic focuses, but also a range of interrelated investment opportunities that together lead to greater, more durable impact.
