Providing information about Prince George's County and its nonprofits, including strengths and challenges, the Partnership works with funders to increase private philanthropic investment in the county. The Partnership for Prince George's County grows out of five forums originally co-sponsored by the Washington Grantmakers' Sustainable Communities Working Group and The Prince George's Community Foundation, a regional affiliate of The Community Foundation for the National Capital Region.

Key findings from those forums include:

• Community needs throughout the county outpace nonprofits' abilities to meet those deficiencies
• Prince George's County nonprofits raise less than 13 percent of their income from private foundations, the lowest in suburban Maryland
• The nonprofit sector is largely absent from discussions about how public dollars are spent
• County nonprofits have few connective advocacy agencies to raise their visibility and drive a shared social agenda
• The County's multicultural composition makes it an ideal place for early experimentation with strategies designed to build leadership, reduce conflict, and combat structural racism
