Which organizations does RedLine partner with and why? 

Active community partners are existing and new partnerships that are mission aligned and partnering together is mutually beneficial. All community partner relationships have been cultivated through our collaboration scorecard process.

RedLine community partners are on-going and active collaborators with an informal (no financial component) or formal agreement (financial component). RedLine Community Partners are connected through our art education, regranting, community programs, or other initiatives. Partners can be individuals, groups, and organizations.

Both partners recognize the partnership publicly and give time to check in and evaluate the partnership.

What does a community partnership with RedLine look like?

RedLine identifies community partners and ways to achieve and exceed expectations in transformative community relationship-building, cultivation, and connection initiatives.

RedLine intends to build sustaining relationships that fortify trust and unifies the decision-making process that focuses on connections tailored to the communities we engage. 

All Community Partners sign an agreement outlining the expectations held between RedLine and the ‘Associate’ as partners in this agreement.
