PUF Community Alliance
A partnership and distribution channel for practical community programming.
The People United Foundation Community Alliance connects trusted businesses, schools, libraries, faith organizations, civic groups, institutions, families, volunteers, sponsors, and funders with PUF programs that can be delivered in live, online, or hybrid settings.
Current role
The Alliance helps PUF deploy programs without becoming another operating system.
Partners provide credible access to audiences, locations, communications, and community context.
PUF brings governed education, facilitation, participant materials, measurement, and implementation support.
New concepts begin as controlled pilots, are measured, revised, approved, and only then expanded.
Partner pathways
Multiple ways to participate under one PUF channel.
Businesses that host, sponsor, promote, or support community programming and practical learning experiences.
Faith organizations supporting youth enrichment, family engagement, volunteer service, mentoring, and trusted community outreach.
Schools, libraries, universities, after-school programs, and youth-serving organizations seeking high-quality education and enrichment support.
Nonprofits, civic groups, neighborhood organizations, public agencies, and service providers collaborating on measurable community needs.
Businesses, donors, institutions, and funders supporting access, technology, supplies, meals, transportation, scholarships, or program delivery.
Trusted adults, professionals, educators, and community leaders who strengthen delivery through service, expertise, and relationships.
Activation menu
Programming is selected from validated needs—not a fixed event calendar.
How partnership works
Need → Design → Deliver → Measure.
Start with a validated audience, partner, or community need rather than a generic event concept.
Define the pilot, outcomes, roles, delivery format, accessibility, privacy, safety, and approved materials.
Launch a polished live, online, or hybrid experience using existing PUF capabilities and partner infrastructure where practical.
Capture participation, learning, feedback, implementation lessons, and next-step evidence before expanding.
Governance
Partnership does not transfer ownership or IP rights.
The Community Alliance is a People United Foundation partnership and distribution channel. When a program uses The 4 Lessons, ZGirl, characters, curriculum, stories, graphics, apps, media concepts, or other separately governed creative assets, use requires the appropriate written permission, license, or program-use authorization.
Separately governed commercial systems and intellectual property remain outside PUF ownership unless an approved relationship expressly provides otherwise.
Build with us
Start with one clear need and one measurable pilot.
PUF will help identify the audience, delivery format, partner role, outcomes, safeguards, and next best activation.
