“Community-based organizations (CBOs) work together every day to meet the needs of those we serve. Philanthropy, both public and private, expect and support collaborative efforts. The team at VNL does an extraordinary job visually demonstrating the collective impact of CBOs and philanthropy working together to achieve quality of life improvements in communities. VNL’s core principles of trust and value humanize and demystify why some cross-sector relationships are strong while others may need some attention. The analysis provides a road map, not only to strengthen community partnership but to maximize their effectiveness.”

"VNL and their PARTNER network data have been critical components to support County Health Rankings & Roadmaps in analyzing existing networks around the country. VNL provided important training on network science concepts, network mapping and analysis, and SDoH resource allocation within networks. We were able to align health rankings data with VNL’s analysis of inter-organizational relationships and partnerships to identify gaps for targeted outreach."

"We have worked with VNL over the past eight years, working with their team and utilizing PARTNER to assess the collaborative function of community-based quality improvement learning teams. Their evaluators allowed us to assess how we work together for health improvement planning and identify how we can target our efforts to optimize capacity development. It is a pleasure to work with Dr. Varda and her team."
