Our Partners • Urban Strategies

At Urban Strategies, we believe in the power of collaboration and the strength of partnerships.

We are dedicated to equipping, resourcing, and connecting faith- and community-based organizations to ensure that all children and families can reach their full potential. Our partnerships are built on our core values of intentional compassion, authentic relationships, and servant leadership.

Why we partner with faith-based organizations

Faith-based organizations have long played a vital role in addressing the needs of their communities. We recognize and appreciate the unique strengths they bring to the table. Here’s why we choose to partner with faith-based organizations:

Values-Aligned Approach

Faith-based organizations often share our core values of intentional compassion, authentic relationships, and servant leadership. This alignment creates a strong foundation for collaboration and ensures that our collective efforts are guided by a common purpose.

Trusted Community Presence

Faith-based organizations are deeply embedded in their communities and have established trust over time. Their long-standing relationships enable us to reach individuals and families who may otherwise be difficult to engage, ensuring that our services and resources are accessible to those who need them most.

Holistic Care

Faith-based organizations often take a holistic approach to community development, addressing not only physical needs but also emotional, spiritual, and social well-being. This comprehensive perspective aligns with our belief that true transformation occurs when we address the multi-faceted needs of individuals and communities.

We are grateful for the incredible partnerships we have forged, and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.

Join us in our mission to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families.
