Project Appleseed Strategic Approach

Strategy

Our strategy for partnering with businesses and organizations centers around maximizing the reach of our message to increase family engagement in public schools. We aim to partner with businesses and organizations that can help us build awareness of our cause nationwide, particularly among women aged 25-54, parents, grandparents, and caring adults. To ensure that we can effectively collaborate and achieve our mutual goals, we prioritize working directly with partners rather than relying on intermediaries. When intermediaries are the initial point of contact, we work to establish direct communication with the primary partners as soon as possible.
