Collaborative Partners Initiative (CPIN) is a woman-led and veteran owned community-serving small business located in Pierce County, Washington.

We work across several disciplines including education, housing, homelessness, community health, local courts, workforce development, health research, immigrants and refugees, early learning, street medicine, the arts, wildlife conservation, youth-led issues, organizational development, and overarching capacity building initiatives.

We work with a variety of organizations to include nonprofits, BIPOC-led community-based organizations, small businesses, courts of limited jurisdiction, and academic research institutions to advance initiatives for under-resourced and underserved communities; primarily communities of color, minorities, women, and socially, economically, or disadvantaged residents.

We work locally throughout Washington State and have also supported initiatives across the United States and in south-central Africa. Since we were established in 2020, we have achieved exceptional results in collaboration with the organizations we work with:   

• Seeking and securing funding through grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements totaling over $60 million dollars with an overall win rate of 30 – 50%.
• Advising on fiscal and grant compliance strategies with organizations to implement programs that support entrepreneurs and small businesses, working families tax assistance, historic preservation, homelessness and housing, food insecurity, and women’s health research.
• Guiding several newer nonprofits and small businesses to secure their first grant funding; growing their programs by 200% or more. 
• Strategizing with several groups to plan for sustainability and longevity to ensure they can deliver immediate and long-term impactful results for generations to come.
