The Community Partnership

What The Community Partnership does

The Community Partnership is a private non-profit social services organization headquartered at 1101 Hauck Drive in Rolla, Missouri, founded in 1997 to deliver essential services to children, youth, and families across mid-Missouri. It operates a portfolio of evidence-based programs organized into four pillars: Early Childhood (training and technical assistance for childcare providers in five counties), Capable Kids and Families® (home visits, developmental therapy equipment loans, playgroups, and the Friendship Circles school-based inclusion program for children with developmental delays and disabilities, delivered through four affiliate sites in Rolla, St. Louis, Jefferson City, and Springfield), Youth Development (PLUS 1 parenting support for teen parents, PLUS 1 Mentoring, Chafee Independent Living, Foster Care Support, the Linking Hearts Adoption Fair, and the Personal Responsibility Education Program for foster youth), and Home Visiting (using the Healthy Families America model for at-risk pregnant and parenting families across nine counties). All services are provided free of charge to eligible families.

The organization is funded through a mix of state contracts (primarily with the Missouri Department of Social Services, Children's Division, and Department of Elementary & Secondary Education), foundation grants, and individual donations including a Community Builders Society for $1,000+ donors and a Walmart SparkGood round-up channel. It does not develop proprietary technology; service delivery relies on standard case management systems and human-intensive home visits, facility-based programs, school-based interventions, and community events. Approximately 30 staff execute program operations, with the organization overseen by a board of directors and led by Executive Director Jean Darnell. The business model is contract-and-grant-funded rather than commercial, with no equity funding, no disclosed revenue, and no M&A activity. The Capable Kids and Families® program underwent third-party evaluation by Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago in 2011-2013, and the organization holds a GuideStar/Candid Gold Seal of Transparency.
