Organization description:
Trailhead Institute is a public health institute with the vision for everyone to be healthy and live in a healthy environment. We support individuals, collaboratives and organizations addressing community challenges. Founded in 1993, we provide fiscal and operation support to help a variety of projects to positively affect community health. In our Administrative Partnership Program, we serve as an administrative partner for individuals, collaboratives and organizations because we understand that managing the fiscal and operational responsibilities of an initiative can be a time-consuming burden that takes precious resources away from an initiative’s core objectives. Our approach allows partners to leverage our services while maintaining full control over their work.
