Partner
Partners are a vital part of Brushwood’s work and mission.
We prioritize collaborations with organizations, artists, individuals, healthcare providers and facilities, and businesses who align with our mission and values.
Our collaboration strategy is rooted in asset-based community engagement. Meaning, we focus on the strengths and assets of our various partner communities, instead of on deficits and problems.

Our team is always open to meet with new partners, and exploring potential avenues for collaboration.
We like to meet with new partners to establish authentic relationships, cultivated in the understanding of each other’s efforts and contributions to health equity, nature, and the arts. In addition, every partnership is unique, and has its own timeline.
We are always working to evaluate our partnership model, and receive feedback from partners.
Due to Staff capacity, we currently have a waitlist for:
- organization partnership with Community Programming: Youth & Families
