Donate Take Action

At Partnership for the Public Good, we believe that collective action is the answer to systemic injustice and cruelty. During a frightening and painful year for many Americans, we’ve mobilized and brought together groups from across the region to advocate for structural policy change. And we know this approach works. We need your support to make change — and our mission — possible.

Just this past year, PPG and our partners pushed the Buffalo School Board to drastically reduce suspensions by making it much more difficult to suspend our youngest children. We also led a collaboration to launch a community responder pilot program, giving residents a safer, more effective alternative for handling low-level behavioral health situations without police involvement.

Thanks to generous supporters like you, we also held our first annual Advocacy in Action Summit, a daylong event empowering our neighbors with the skills to advocate for change. More than 100 residents joined us for workshops on meeting with legislators, working with the media, understanding city and county government, and sustaining themselves in this often-difficult work. With your continued support, we will build on this momentum in the coming year, offering even more opportunities for learning, connection, and community power.

In 2026, we believe the need for local advocacy will only intensify. With federal policy choices inflicting grave harm to low-income and working families, the decisions made by our local governments will carry greater weight than ever before. Further, we have new opportunities with a fresh mayoral administration in Buffalo and our first City Charter revision process in 25 years! We need your help to take advantage of these shifts and to continue advancing equitable policy change. Please donate to strengthen this collective work. Together, we can build a future for our region where everyone has access to quality jobs, safe housing, and thriving neighborhoods.
