We believe in a by-community, for-community approach and we apply a collaborative governance model to achieve this.

PARTNERS

Partnerships are the heart of F2CC’s work and they let us facilitate community-based initiatives across the country.

Implementation partners are values-aligned organizations that work in a specific region and/or sector. These partners share F2CC’s vision and mission and their staff collaborate with F2CC staff and inform our projects. Together, the core F2CC staff and Implementation Partner staff form a national team to advance F2CC’s mission.
