Support

We are grateful to many, many organizations that generously support the work of the Heart of the Continent Partnership:

In-Kind Support

The majority of the support for the efforts of Heart of the Continent Partnership comes in the form of in-kind contributions from the participating organizations.

  • Steering Committee: The nine organizations with representatives on the steering committee have contributed staff time and travel expenses so that these individuals can serve on the steering committee to plan and lead the efforts and activities of  HOCP.
  • Design Team: Likewise, the twenty-plus organizations with representatives on the design team (planning the Sustainable Gateway Communities Initiative), are contributing their time and travel expenses.
  • Participating Organizations: Finally, the organizations that attend quarterly meetings, many of whom also serve on ad-hoc committees, contribute their time and travel expenses.
