Partnership

The sector grows further when we partner together.

Roots to Leadership was built on the belief that cultivating nonprofit leaders is not a solo undertaking. It takes organizations willing to open their doors, funders willing to invest in the people behind the work, and partners willing to build alongside us. If any of that sounds like you, we would love to explore what partnership could look like.

Why Partner With Roots to Leadership

Connect your organization to the energy of the sector.

Our community brings together nonprofit professionals who are actively learning, growing, and shaping the sector. Partnering with us means connecting your organization to that energy in a way that strengthens both your work and ours.

Partners help us extend what the community can reach. Funders help us invest in the depth and longevity of the work. Organizations help us create the rooms where learning, connection, and leadership happen. Each partnership is a contribution to the same vision — a nonprofit sector where leaders are cultivated with intention and the people doing the work are supported at every stage.

Our Approach

Two doors. Same vision.

For Nonprofit Organizations

Our Community Meetings are hosted in partnership with nonprofits who open their space to the community and share something of their work with peers across the sector. Beyond hosting, organizations partner with us on cross-promotion, co-facilitation, and referrals. If your team is doing work our community should know about, or your people would benefit from being part of ours, there is likely a way to build something together.

In practice

Hosting a Community Meeting at your organization
Collaborating on a Connection Circle topic your work speaks to
Referring your team or members into our community
Co-promoting programming that serves both audiences

For Funders

Roots to Leadership is a 501(c)(3) building long-term infrastructure for the nonprofit sector. Funders who partner with us are investing in the people behind the missions they already care about, strengthening the sector from the inside out. We are specific about the work, honest about what we measure, and clear about what your support makes possible. A conversation with us starts with understanding your priorities and finding where they meet ours.
