About Us
The Partnership for the Public Good is a “think and do tank” dedicated to providing research and advocacy support to a broad array of organizations who share a community oriented vision of a revitalized Greater Buffalo. We, along with our partners, see a revitalized Buffalo in which the non-profit community and citizens have a stronger voice in public policy and are better able to promote the public good. We see a community building on assets such as diversity, historic neighborhoods, and natural resources, making progress on problems such as poverty, inequality, and pollution, and finding solutions that bring greater accountability and democracy to local government.
PPG advances its vision and principles with a wealth of publications and an annual community agenda. We have created a citizen tool-kit with action resources on local issues, as well as directories of community economic development organizations and community-oriented scholars. We host a public forum on the third Tuesday of each month and a radio show, the Public Good, every Tuesday from 1:00-1:30pm on WUFO AM 1080. Each summer PPG works with the Cornell University ILR School to bring 15 Cornell students to Buffalo to intern with PPG partners in the High Road Fellowship Program.
