The Hypatia Collaborative

We believe that providing capacity support to small, BIPOC-led and serving organizations can advance equity in our community. We do this using a shared services organizational model that seeks to pool capacity resources to drive down costs and create solidarity among the folks closest to our community’s needs. Hypatia Collaborative is the administrative hub and umbrella organization for the network of nonprofit consultants and vendors. Using a case management approach, Hypatia Collaborative uses an intake process that utilizes an assessment tool to create an organizational baseline for the potential nonprofit client. This baseline creates a roadmap for progress and referrals to the network of vendors. We believe racial equity can be achieved by community-led investing, planning, and implementation while creating sustainable methods to build capacity and administrative infrastructure to support slow, thoughtful growth.
