We Help Agencies

By fostering partnerships and helping agencies reduce costs and improve efficiencies, we help agencies amplify their results for both individuals and families. Last year, agencies saved $218,000 in lease payments alone thanks to our sustainable model , our grant seeking efforts and contributions from the community. In addition, Together Center shares campus services, builds nonprofit capacities and undertakes major capital fund drives that keep agency overhead costs low.

Working well together
Agencies provide better services and make better referrals when they are familiar with each other. That’s why Together Center prides itself on promoting a collaborative atmosphere and the sharing of expertise. In addition to the above capacity-building activities, Together Center hosts the following:

• Together Center Association monthly meetings (see Our Partners)
• All-campus social and educational events
• Referral-oriented trainings, crisis de-escalation, emergency preparedness, and office safety
