About LINK LINK allows community-based organizations to post research projects and enables researchers to find meaningful research topics. Researchers search the site for projects that match their interests and skills.
Researchers apply directly to organizations.
Meanwhile, campuses and communities build productive relationships with each other. Engage graduate, professional, and college students in projects that utilize their skills to address real needs while building networks in the community. Develop new LINKs and reinforce existing ties between universities and communities of which they are a part, thus enhancing the potential for collaborative work and outcomes in the nonprofit and academic sectors. LINK is a nonprofit organization in a pilot phase of development. LINK has been built with assistance from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Open Society Institute, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Sobrato Family Foundation, the Markle Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, and several generous individuals.
