Launch partnership and track impact
Self-Help looks for mission alignment, community focus, operational strength, collaborative approach, and commitment to measurable impact.
Simple partnerships can take a few weeks, while complex partnerships can take a few months. Self-Help prioritizes thorough partnership design for long-term success.
Self-Help operates in Connecticut, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. We prioritize partnerships in these states but also engage nationally.
