How We Work

What Works Plus supports projects focused on the below pillars:

  • Government Capacity Building: Supporting efforts that strengthen our government’s ability to ensure successful implementation outcomes.

  • Community Engagement: Sharing opportunities that engage the community voice in decision-making or support community awareness of and access to public benefits or application opportunities.

  • Local Economies: Promoting equitable economic diversification, workforce development, and procurement processes and opportunities. 

 We support related projects by:

  • Sharing proposals for shovel-ready projects with our networks.

  • Fostering connections between government, CBOs, technical assistance providers, and other entities connected to the space. 

  • Co-designing project proposals that are responsive to federal needs. 

  • Uplifting success stories to our network through learning events and webinars.

Partner with us to develop or share projects that will help advance federal infrastructure, climate and economic development funding implementation.
