Partners of Hope — Our Community Leaders
What is a Partner of hope?
It is our mission to break the cycle of homelessness, and we can only be successful in that mission with the support of people like you, and organizations like yours. Partners of Hope are just that — business leaders and individuals in our community who have courageously partnered with Tender Mercies to end homelessness. We have collaborated with companies, foundations and local organizations to build a community of like-minded individuals who are dedicated to the security, dignity and community we provide.
Those organizations interested in becoming a Partner of Hope should email Development Director Deanna Hengge at DHengge@TenderMerciesinc.org.

Build trust within the community. Show your customers and employees what you care about.
Forge alliances with other local businesses.
Improve employee morale: we all need a bigger reason.
Attract local talent. Both the millennial and Gen Z generations gave more than any other generation during the pandemic. These groups are revolutionizing the future of philanthropy. This key talent pool today wants to give back.
Foster a culture of collaboration.
