Strategic Partnership Philosophy & Pathways
What is the MFCF Partnership Program
The MFCF Partnership Program is a flexible way for values-aligned companies, foundations, and institutions to collaborate with a national intermediary that knows how to move capital and capacity quickly, with trust, accountability, and real community proximity.
Partnerships help underwrite:
• capital infusions and grantmaking
• community convenings that turn giving into coordinated action
• applied capacity building that helps grassroots organizations stay stable and scalable
• holistic wellness and community care experiences that keep leaders and neighborhoods resourced
Ready to Explore a Partnership?
MFCF views partnership as an evolving relationship, not a transaction. Partners may begin in one track and deepen engagement over time as alignment, capacity, and opportunity grow.

PARTNER
Become a Partner
MFCF works with partners across four distinct tracks, allowing organizations to engage in ways that align with their priorities, internal capacity, and desired level of integration. These pathways are intentionally flexible, additive, and mutually beneficial. Strong ecosystems are built through layered collaboration, not one-size-fits-all commitments. Partners may engage in one track, evolve across tracks, or participate across elements of multiple tracks. Formal designation reflects the primary mode of collaboration.
Partner Track 1: Awareness Partners
Purpose: Visibility, alignment, and shared narrative
Awareness partners support MFCF’s mission by amplifying programs, opportunities, and community-led solutions through aligned messaging, events, and trusted networks. These partnerships are light-touch and focus on reach rather than operations.
What this typically includes
-
Cross-promotion of initiatives and events
-
Brand visibility within MFCF programming and communications
-
Informal collaboration and alignment conversations
Ideal partners: Organizations, platforms, and networks with trusted reach and aligned values that can elevate community-centered economic mobility narratives and expand visibility without direct service delivery, referrals, or funding commitments.
Partner Track 2: Referral Partners
Purpose: Trusted pathways to resources and services
Referral partners provide specialized services that complement MFCF’s economic mobility and organizational stability work. MFCF offers warm, relationship-based referrals to these partners, reducing friction and increasing successful engagement for community members.
What this typically includes
-
Warm referrals from MFCF programs and initiatives
-
Clear points of contact and streamlined intake pathways
-
Occasional co-hosted sessions or information sharing
Current referral partners
Partner Track 3: Programmatic or Funding Partners
Purpose: Direct support for specific initiatives
Programmatic and funding partners provide financial resources, in-kind support, or targeted investment to strengthen MFCF programs and pilots. These partnerships are structured while remaining values-aligned and community-centered.
What this typically includes
-
Program sponsorships or targeted funding
-
Co-branded initiatives or pilot programs
-
Shared learning and outcome reporting
Current programmatic partners
-
UpSkill 4Impact, MFCF’s nonprofit technical assistance provider and licensed certification partner
Partner Track 4: Strategic Anchor Partners
Purpose: Integrated, long-term collaboration
Strategic anchor partners are deeply embedded collaborators within MFCF’s ecosystem. These relationships span awareness, referrals, funding, and programmatic collaboration and are governed through a formal MOU emphasizing shared outcomes and long-term systems impact.
What this typically includes
-
Preferred partner designation across MFCF programming
-
Warm, ongoing referral pathways
-
Financial underwriting of one or more core initiatives
-
Programmatic co-design and collaboration
-
Aggregate outcome sharing and joint storytelling
-
Visibility as a core ecosystem partner
Ideal partners: Community-rooted financial institutions, philanthropy, workforce intermediaries, and systems leaders aligned with trust-based, place-centered economic mobility.
