Stand Together Trust

You have a vision: we want to support it with funding and strategic capabilities. You have unique knowledge and experiences: we want to complement them. Let’s achieve more together than we could on our own.

What We Do

We partner with social entrepreneurs who have a passion and personal knowledge in their subject area and deep belief in the dignity of all people. We seek out partners who share our vision of a society based on equal rights, mutual benefit, openness, and self-actualization.

We have a holistic view of partnership — we come alongside social entrepreneurs and ask how we can help you challenge the status quo and expand your new and better ways to tackle our country’s biggest problems.

“Our partnership experience has been fantastic — Stand Together Trust has been supportive in every way, including trusting us to determine our strategy and do our work. That’s something I’ve really appreciated about their approach — they trust the folks on the ground to make the right calls about how to have an impact.”

Request for Proposals: Veterans’ Issues

Veterans have faithfully served their country, but often face obstacles when returning home from war or transitioning to civilian life. Despite recent legislative reforms, veterans still struggle with access to timely and effective healthcare. Lasting improvement in this area will require objective, reliable research to inform policy decisions and ensure reform is not based on anecdotes or insufficient information.
