Resources for Creating Community Change
Sharing resources, ideas, and tools are the heart of CORE’s work. By working across sectors and seeking out people with diverse backgrounds and life experiences, we’ve been able to glean community wisdom and co-create solutions to move our work forward. Now we want to share all that we have learned with you.
We welcome you to explore and use our collection of resources to support your work as you look for new ways to build health, equity, and well-being in your community. And if you have something you’d like to add to our resources page, please get in touch with us. We’d love to hear your ideas!

Understanding the County Budget Process
In our CORE training and technical assistance, we often talk about budgets as stories that happen to use numbers instead of words to convey our vision, values, and priorities. Whether they’re budgets for a small grant or an entire County or nation, the stories they tell are important, yet often created in a way that makes sense to accountants but may leave the rest of us wondering: What story does our County’s budget tell? Watch the recording of this session to explore this question, and hear an overview of the County budget process, its relationship to the strategic and operational plans, opportunities for community input, and the County’s new online budget tool.
