The Funders Collaborative pursues three types of activities to encourage thinking, planning, and investment “beyond the rail.”

We promote learning for Funders Collaborative members and other organizational stakeholders so decisions affecting the Corridor are well informed and far-sighted.

We help to build shared solutions through learning, the creation of corridor-wide strategies and goals, innovative thinking, and effective implementation.

We invest in implementation of strategies aimed at achieving our corridor-wide objectives through the Catalyst Fund. In addition to funding opportunities for learning and forming strategic partnerships, we provide resources to help carry out the policies and programs identified as a result of these partnerships.
