This week, we are devoting our #GOPCThread to acknowledging all those groups and individuals who have helped to make 2021 one of the most successful years in our history. We could not do what we do here at GOPC without your support.
Not on Twitter? The thread is available online, as well as below.

GOPC couldn’t do it without funders like @GundFoundation; @CleveFoundation; @GrCinciFdn; @Chase @PNCBank @FifthThird & #NordFamilyFoundation
And partners like: @OCCHstrong; @landpolicy
And we take seriously the trust communities & orgs put in us to advise or evaluate, such as: @RichlandFoundat; @SciotoFnd; #SpringfieldOH; @CleDevAdvisors; @FinanceFund; @CinDevFund; @ECDIoh; #VillageCapitalCorp; @OCCHStrong; & others
We are a mighty, but small office. We couldn’t do it without the longstanding partnership of @OhioRebuild members, including: @OhioCDC; @HeritageOhio; @FinanceFund; @OCCHStrong; @ECDIoh & #NeighborWorksCollaborativeOhio. Another key partner is @reinvestfund
And we learn so much from our partners who lead the field in affordable housing & housing stability, like @elundgard w/ @OhioEnterprise, @kevinjnowak1 w/ @CHNhousing, @ELStockhausen w/ @CLEProgress; #KandisWilliams w/ #LISC-CLE; @jpcybil w/ @TalbertHouse;

Another group of experts we are always relying upon for guidance and insights on local government issues are: @ohiomayors; @OHCounties; #OhioMunicipalLeague #OhioLandBankAssociation
And S/O to the #ReinventionCities leaders who keep us updated on opportunities & needs in OH’s small #legacycities. There are many but special props to: @ericwobser, @TomHorsman, @Joshua45011, @LCombo, @86_Upton
S/O (2/3) to the #ReinventionCities who inform our work: @ChamberJodie, @RichlandFoundat, #MarionChamber @SciotoFnd, @SpfldOHChamber, #CityofSpringfieldOH
S/O (3/3) to the #ReinventionCities who inform our work: @CityofLimaOH; @lmfeeney; @CityofElyria and #CityofMassillon
