ABOUT US
 

With racial equity as the driving force, Hyphen works at the nexus of public policy, effective governance, and private philanthropy. Our work is fundamentally about leverage and impact. We catalyze multi-sector partnerships, leverage philanthropic leadership and resources, and deploy strategic communications to address urgent needs facing our nation. Hyphen lays the groundwork for long-term transformative change that benefits our broader society, with a particular focus on communities for whom prosperity and the American Dream have long been elusive. Our work requires building support among diverse stakeholders and unlikely allies, and we encourage these disparate parties to coalesce around shared goals that have the potential to accelerate structural change. We then mobilize philanthropic resources and activate cross-sector leadership to pursue these goals. Since our inception in 2021, Hyphen and our partners have leveraged nearly $1 billion* in public and private funding,  as well as laid the groundwork for over $200 million in philanthropic commitments, to strengthen public safety, expand economic opportunity, address climate change, and ensure that the rebuilding of the nation’s infrastructure leads to equitable outcomes.

* Includes over $215 million for underserved small businesses and over $761 million for community violence interventions. 

WHAT WE DO

Hyphen develops high-impact co-investment strategies, public-private partnerships, and catalyzes multi-sector collaborations. We engage philanthropy, government, corporations, financial institutions, and the nonprofit sector to mobilize and unlock resources to address the most urgent issues facing our nation. Our goal is to advance long-term solutions that accelerate structural change and achieve greater equity for underserved communities and our broader society.
