PGDF is pleased to announce the renewal of its Technical Assistance Partnerships (TAPs) program for 2025. The TAPs program provides pro-bono technical assistance hours to national nonprofit partners focused on addiction and recovery, mental health, and wellness.
Mobilize Recovery
This one-year project assigns 250 pro-bono hours to orchestrate behavioral wellness and substance use prevention and recovery programming for the 2025 Campus Surge initiative. This program will consist of a series of flagship events at colleges and universities across the United States, coordinating many partners and stakeholders and reaching thousands of students. PGDF executive director Liz Cairns will lead partner communication and program planning, from connecting with campuses to gauge their needs to coordinating with the logistics team to plan event details. The Campus Surge initiative aims to dismantle barriers, raise awareness, and champion the vital truth that hope, healing, and recovery are achievable for everyone.
Partnership to End Addiction
This project extends PGDF’S Technical Assistance Partnership awarded in 2024 to ensure the continuation of Community Partners Network (CPN). A national network of locally-based organizations focused on substance use and mental health, CPN helps end addiction in the United States by bringing together partners from every community to exchange ideas and spark opportunities for impact. PGDF executive director Liz Cairns founded this network in 2020 and grew it to 250+ organizations during her four years as Director of External Partnerships. The 2024 project examined the strategic potential of CPN, updated all language, promotion, and operations of the program, and assigned new staff roles to manage it going forward. In 2025, Liz will coordinate and oversee the transition of program operations to new Partnership staff in Q1 and remain in an advisory role for the remainder of the year.
