Partners & community

Outreach is not partnership. We keep the difference visible.

It is easy for a developing nonprofit to turn a phone call into a logo on a website. This page states what each relationship actually is, so a funder, a township official or a veteran service organization can trust the rest of the site.

How we describe relationships

Six words, used precisely

  • Formal partnerA documented, agreed relationship with defined commitments on both sides.
  • CollaboratorAn organization working alongside RRHARTS on something specific, without a formal agreement.
  • AdvisorAn individual contributing guidance in their area of expertise.
  • Technical referenceA published or open-source resource RRHARTS learns from. Not a relationship at all.
  • Being approachedAn organization RRHARTS has contacted or is in conversation with. Nothing agreed.
  • Regulatory pathwayA public entity whose review the project must pass through. Review is not endorsement.

Where things stand

Current relationships

Regulatory pathway

Clayton Township

The campus sits within Clayton Township, and the Township is part of the planning and regulatory pathway for the project. RRHARTS does not claim Township approval, endorsement, sponsorship or partnership. Government review is a process the project must complete, not a statement of support.

Technical reference

One Community Global

An open-source technical and reference resource that RRHARTS draws on in thinking about sustainable community design. This is not a formal partnership, and One Community Global should not be described as an RRHARTS partner.

Being approached

American Legion and VFW posts

RRHARTS has developed veteran-community outreach and partnership concepts with veteran service organizations. No endorsement is claimed and no logos are displayed; that would require permission and a documented agreement.

Being approached

Veterans Connected

Conversations relating to veteran-community collaboration. RRHARTS does not describe this as a formal partnership.

RRHARTS currently lists no formal partners. When a documented partnership exists, it will be named here as one — and not before.
