Collaboration is at the heart of being successful in the work to preventing and ending homelessness. Funders who collaborate together and partnerships that are built on public and private relationships provide a critical backbone to support and ensure that efforts build strong and sustainable programs throughout communities can positively influence and effectively create systems change.

We encourage you to see the various ways philanthropy is partnering together and with the public sector:

 

Homelessness Funder Collaboratives

At Funders Together, we support the dedicated collaboration of committed foundations, United Ways, and corporate partners who work as one to prevent and end homelessness in their communities. Learn about collaboratives focused on working together and increasing the power of philanthropy in communities.

No one sector alone can prevent and end homelessness: it takes the dedication and commitment from entities across the sector coming together with common goals. Read more about the importance of these partnerships and some examples from across the country.
