Changing the status quo, together.
The Contingent
The Contingent is a venture nonprofit that empowers leaders and mobilizes community to tackle many of the largest injustices and vulnerabilities in our country. Sweeping transformation is contingent on developing new approaches for linking arms and stepping into brokenness – together.
A group of people trained for action.
Lasting change comes when community rises and works together. The Contingent is the spark, inspiring and training neighbors to help neighbors. At a time when the status quo is a divided society, The Contingent becomes an enduring and essential group of people standing in the gap and creating new leaders to confront the challenges ahead.
What world can we build, what problems can we solve, when we work together?
Initiatives
We see needs and we fill them. The Contingent serves children and families impacted by foster care and empowers diverse talent to excel as young professionals. We succeed in this through our initiatives: Every Child, Survival is Not Enough (SINE), Emerging Leaders, and Ready to Rise, and our Scholarships: Act Six and Ignite.
The Work We Do
The Community Collider
Over the last three years, The Contingent has invested heavily into marketing, Community Experience (CX), technology, and research/evaluation. Each of these functions are independently essential to our work.
Our Team
At The Contingent, the “what” is not as important as the “Who.” We are made up of amazing leaders who all bring their own unique skills, gifts, and experiences to this work.
