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

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

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.

Examples of what this looks like 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.

Funding partners help make possible:

  • Cultivation programming that remains open and accessible to the community

  • Community Meeting and Connection Circle sponsorship across a season or a year

  • The organizational capacity to grow thoughtfully and sustain the work over time

  • Future programming as it takes shape

How Partnership Works

Partnerships at Roots to Leadership are built through conversation. We believe the strongest collaborations start by getting to know each other, understanding what each side hopes to build, and deciding together whether the fit is right.
