The Collaborative Change Initiative was created to honor legendary philanthropist Warren Hellman. His tenacious, pragmatic, and creative approach to collaborative change brought diverse stakeholders together to roll up their sleeves and tackle tough local challenges. The initiative also reflects the priorities of the current Hellman Foundation leaders, who are driven by an agenda for fairness and justice for Bay Area communities and believe in the power of collaboration as a strategy to impact these goals.
Since 2014, the Hellman Collaborative Change Initiative has awarded close to $11M to enable collaborations in Alameda and San Francisco Counties to scale exciting solutions and impact systems, tackling disparities in: 1) Health, 2) Education and 3) Opportunity.
We recognize that long-term social change requires innovative solutions backed by meaningful financial and organizational support. That is why the Hellman Foundation applies a trust-based philanthropy approach to rebalance power and center communities. It is our goal to provide flexible dollars, responsive capacity building support and other resources to enable new levels of impact on these critical local initiatives.
