A Countywide Community Partnership Database:
Launching the Jefferson County, Colorado PARTNER CPRM™
Most communities have a rich collaboration ecosystem made up of cross-sector partners working collaboratively to improve social, health, and economic outcomes. However, this network of partners is invisible, making it difficult to leverage its collective resources and influence. This leads to redundant efforts, misalignment in strategies, and the inability to effectively leverage limited community resources.
To address this, in partnership with the Colorado Gives Foundation, we are excited to announce the launch of our first public-facing county community partnership database, the Jeffco PARTNER CPRM™. This public-facing Community Partner Relationship Management platform will provide ecosystem data tracking and mapping for collective learning and insights across the entire county.
Learn More and Get Involved!
For the first time, we have one common “source” to store info about the organizations that serve Jeffco residents, and the relationships among them. Read reports, explore interactive dashboards, and contact our team below to learn more and get involved!
What is a CPRM? What Will It Do?
We are building an extensive and up-to-date database to include Jefferson County’s community ecosystem members. The PARTNER CPRM™ system is designed to track and evidence the improvements to these networks, focusing specifically on their success as mechanisms for achieving community results. We will integrate data from various sources understand whether the desired outcomes are being met.
The main areas of focus include:
- Workforce Development
- Older Adults and Isolation
- Food Systems
- Early Childhood (Bright Futures Roadmap)
Promising Opportunities – Mapping the Ecosystem with PARTNER CPRM
One of the exciting features of our project is the ability to capture the interconnectedness between these focus areas. This means we can track community organizations that are involved in one or more of the focus areas, giving a holistic view of their participation.
For instance, the Jefferson County Public Health (JCPH) will likely be a “partner” in all four use cases. Our CPRM will enable us to track their involvement across all these areas. This type of interaction is typical of community-wide networks and encourages cross-sector partnerships.
What To Expect
With our comprehensive data and resources, we’ll be able to do several significant things, such as documenting the landscape of community partners, assessing each partner’s capacities, identifying existing connections with underrepresented groups, increasing efficiency in collaboration, and many others.
At the end of this project, we will establish the first Jeffco PARTNER CPRM – a dataset that includes as much information about community networks across the county in one place, for the community’s benefit. To sign up for email updates about this project, click here.
