Partnerships

Global Atlanta Works program partnerships should be looked upon as an evolutionary process to open doors and identify opportunities to build upon the strength of the region’s diversity. Your involvement broadens understanding and positive perception of the diverse new face of the Atlanta region. You will access minority leaders and community organizations and populations who can benefit from your services.

In 2006, the ARC and the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta formed a collaborative partnership which lead to the development of this Global Atlanta Works program. ARC collaborates with the listed organizations as well as other partners in implemeting various aspects of this program.

We are seeking deliberate partnerships based on joint collaborations of mutual interest, information exchange, and funding. Below are several examples of cooperative partnership strategies. We invite you to contact us with your ideas on how we may work together as partners.
