Insights From Year 1 of Partners in Progress
Lessons Learned
Since Partners in Progress launched in December 2013, our fourteen Community Quarterbacks have advanced economic progress in low-income communities across the country – impacting more than 1 million people. We’ve aggregated key lessons from their work into a guide on building cross-sector partnerships and collective impact initiatives from the ground up. We hope that these insights will accelerate experimentation and innovation for groups seeking new ways to reduce poverty and increase opportunity in their own communities.
