Your Support Helps Communities Deliver
City Thread is a national nonprofit that helps communities turn ambitious plans into finished projects.
The biggest obstacle is trust. People don’t trust decisions made without them, institutions work in silos, and projects that should take months stall for years.
The Playbook helps local leaders build the relationships, processes, and resources to work together and deliver on their promises. Every finished project builds the confidence and momentum for what comes next.

$8.70
in public investment for every $1 of private funding in local coalition building, on average
What $1 can do
City Thread delivers a proven return on investment by helping communities turn ambitious plans into finished projects. Across communities including Austin, Texas; Bentonville, Arkansas; and Providence, Rhode Island, every $1 in private funding invested in local coalition building generates an average of $8.70 in public investment.
With an average philanthropic investment of $2.5 million per city, local partners can build the relationships, capacity, and momentum needed to move community priorities toward public investment and project delivery.
