Proposed initiative · Seeking funding and community partners
Healthy Environments, Healthy Communities
Sustainable Living & Environmental Health Education
HHF is developing a 12-month pilot in DeKalb and Gwinnett Counties to connect environmental education with sustainable household practices, community leadership, and locally selected environmental action.
We are inviting conversations with potential community hosts, sustainability educators, resident-serving organizations, local businesses, and supporters. Specific activities and partner roles will be agreed upon before implementation.
A SHARED COMMITMENT
Why work with HHF?
HHF approaches partnership as a working relationship,
not a logo exchange. We prioritize community voice,
practical implementation, and accountability
throughout the collaboration.
Community-informed design
Start with locally identified needs and listen
to the people affected by the work.
Defined roles and safeguards
Agree on responsibilities, appropriate approvals,
ethical expectations, and implementation boundaries.
Evidence and measurable learning
Set proportionate objectives, document progress,
and use findings to improve delivery.
Responsible stewardship
Use appropriate governance, financial oversight,
and reporting for each agreed partnership.
Your partnership journey
These three stages help both organizations determine whether collaboration is feasible and what accountable delivery will require. Select any stage to see more detail.
01Explore alignmentUnderstand priorities and mutual fit
We begin with an inquiry and introductory conversation about the communities involved, shared aims, organizational capabilities, and available resources.
- Discuss mission and geographic alignment.
- Identify the community need and proposed contribution.
- Decide whether the idea merits further scoping.
Expected result: A clear decision on whether to explore collaboration further.
02Define scope and responsibilitiesEstablish clear expectations and approvals
Where an opportunity is feasible, HHF and the prospective partner develop a practical scope of work and identify the appropriate approval and documentation requirements.
- Agree on objectives, activities, resources, and timelines.
- Clarify safeguarding, data handling, branding, and reporting.
- Obtain required organizational approvals and document commitments through an appropriate agreement where necessary.
Expected result: A defined collaboration with agreed roles and authorization to proceed.
03Implement, measure and learnDeliver responsibly and review progress
Approved partners coordinate agreed activities, maintain communication, review results, and adapt implementation when evidence or community feedback identifies a need.
- Deliver agreed activities with appropriate supervision.
- Monitor outputs, outcomes, use of resources, and learning.
- Review whether to close, continue, adapt, or expand the collaboration.
Expected result: Documented delivery and a reasoned next-step decision.
Important information for prospective partners
HHF is not currently a grantmaking organization. We do not offer direct grants, scholarships, unrestricted funding, or equipment purchases to external organizations or individuals through our partnership inquiry process. Submitting an inquiry does not establish a partnership, authorize use of HHF’s name, or create a funding commitment. All collaborations are subject to review and appropriate organizational approval.
