Building Bridges to Connect People to Progress
The Goal of C2P2 is to expand upon our current success and continue to work with our colleges, universities and other Pro Bono partners to support the self-identified needs of underserved communities, giving those communities a chance to compete for resources on an equal playing field, with larger cities with more resources. As a nonprofit organization with a proven concept, C2P2 is well positioned to support the complex needs of underserved communities with a diverse and energetic group of partners both domestically and internationally. C2P2 also works with private equity, federal, and foundation partners to potentially fund projects designed by students and other partners, to help make the projects a reality. Our methodology allows us to provide sustainable support to underserved communities, recognizing that long term issues need long term support. We use our status as a dynamic 501(c)3 nonprofit organization to meet existing and emerging community needs, within the resources we are provided. The greater our resources, the greater support we can provide.
Your support will help us ensure the execution of the following projects in 2022, and more:
- Alternative energy project and design of new homes in Alaska
- Design of a dual purpose meeting place/emergency shelter for the Biloxi- Chitimacha people in the Southern coast of Louisiana.
- An impact statement on the global environmental damage that would be caused by
destroying a key freshwater source on the island of Andros in the Bahamas. - Methods to mitigate the impact of climate change based flooring on cities in the central U.S.
- A cultural center to help preserve the culture of the Indigenous people of Alaska

Get the Help You Need
The Community & College Partners Program can provide technical assistance to you on a Pro Bono basis! Identify your need and we will draw on our network of colleges, universities, and non-governmental organizations to assemble a team that will support you and put you in a position to compete for the resources you’ll need to see your vision become a reality.
Do Real Work for Real People
The college curriculum comes alive when students at every level can apply what they’ve learned in real life situations. Your practicum, internship or capstone project will have an impact and you’ll get valuable experience working in the field, for your credits, your graduation, or your resume. C2P2 identifies the projects and coordinates the effort. You get to choose a project that matters to you and benefits the communities we serve.
Your Funding Goes Further
Your corporate contributions will work 10 times as hard. The funds you allocate for community outreach will benefit the community itself when the project is finished. Equally important, you’ll be supporting the development of real life experiential learning opportunities for schools and the students who attend. Everyone benefits when you work with C2P2.
