Current initiatives

Programs shaped around practical adoption and long-term care.

The foundation’s current initiatives focus on shared infrastructure, operational readiness, and collaboration approaches that can be sustained across more than one organization.

Active program

Resilient Services Lab

Active

This initiative supports shared service environments that need stronger operational baselines, clearer runbooks, and more dependable recovery pathways. Work typically includes service inventory review, access pattern cleanup, contingency planning, and baseline documentation for small teams.

  • Scope: service continuity, hardening, runbook discipline
  • Primary audience: small nonprofit or community-serving operators
  • Expected impact: fewer fragile service dependencies and faster recovery

Active program

Trustworthy Collaboration Commons

Active

The Collaboration Commons initiative develops privacy-conscious patterns for shared workspaces, access management, communications practices, and lightweight governance across partner networks.

  • Scope: collaboration tooling, access policy, shared operating norms
  • Primary audience: distributed partner teams and cross-institution programs
  • Expected impact: more transparent collaboration with less operational drift

Pilot program

Community Systems Enablement

Pilot

This pilot offers structured technical enablement for organizations moving away from informal, unsupported systems and toward more resilient hosting, documentation, and service ownership practices.

  • Scope: reference architectures, migration planning, operational onboarding
  • Primary audience: community groups with limited technical capacity
  • Expected impact: steadier delivery and clearer technology stewardship

Pilot program

Digital Continuity Exercises

Pilot

This initiative helps teams rehearse realistic continuity scenarios and clarify what happens when core systems, credentials, or key operators become unavailable.

  • Scope: tabletop exercises, incident roles, continuity documentation
  • Primary audience: partner teams with shared infrastructure dependencies
  • Expected impact: improved readiness and calmer decision-making under stress
