Corporate & Community Partners

Mutual Ground acknowledges small businesses and corporations that have shown a strong dedication to our mission by supporting us through awareness efforts and contributions of their time, resources, and funds.

Our Corporate Partners have supported us in several of the following ways throughout the year:

  • Financial Support: monetary donations, either as a one-time contribution or through ongoing sponsorships.

  • In-kind Contributions: donating goods or services, such as providing items, technology, or expertise in a specific area.

  • Employee Engagement: encouraging their employees to volunteer or provide pro bono services to support our work.

  • Awareness: promoting Mutual Ground through their own marketing channels, raising awareness and driving donations.

  • Joint Initiatives: collaboration on specific projects or programs that serve a common cause.

Mutual Ground is honored to recognize our 2025 Corporate Partners!
