What Makes The Alliance Stand Out
The Alliance is a coalition builder—connecting 100+ local partners and thousands of neighbors to the right resources at the right time.
Core Engines of Impact:
Connection & Capacity: Events and networking that link agencies, nonprofits, and churches with each other and with practical resources.
Mobilization: A community-wide Area Needs Database and donation drives that turn local generosity into beds, backpacks, diapers, and more—exactly where they’re needed.
Trauma-Informed Equipping: Workshops, classes, and an annual childhood trauma conference that help caregivers, professionals, and volunteers support kids effectively.
Guiding Principle: Collaboration over competition—because complex problems demand a united response.
Community & Network Impact
The Alliance serves and supports: current and former foster youth; resource and adoptive families; refugees; families in crisis; women facing unplanned pregnancies; and any child who has experienced trauma. The organization’s high-trust, high-leverage model strengthens the entire ecosystem—helping partners reduce duplication, share knowledge, and accelerate help to children faster. (The Alliance also maintains best-practice standards and earned a 2024 Candid/GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency.)
Why The Alliance Won the Great Companies Global Business Award 2025
The Alliance exemplifies Collaborative Community Impact: measurable help delivered through systems of partnership. By convening 100+ organizations, mobilizing donors and volunteers at scale, and equipping caregivers through trauma-informed training, The Alliance multiplies every gift of time, talent, and funding—so more kids feel safe, supported, and loved.
Founder’s Vision
“No single organization can solve childhood trauma alone. Our role is to connect the right people, remove barriers, and equip our community so every child has a stable, loving adult and a safe place to belong.”— Tiffany Loeffler, DPT, Founder & Executive Director, The Alliance
The Road Ahead
The Alliance will deepen its Every Child Movement, expand trauma-informed training, and continue growing the Area Needs Database and regional partner network—so collaborative care reaches more neighborhoods, more quickly, with greater dignity and impact.
Official Recognition
