To effectively advance community-level change, CAL supports multi-perspective, multi-sector initiatives that are led by and include local residents, elected officials, nonprofit organizations, communities of faith, health and long term care providers, businesses, community-based organizations, and many others. We also support individual organizations in developing strategy to advance their aspirations. Examples of our work are described below.
