Philanthropy talks about collaboration regularly - Brenda Smith with High Desert Partnership lives it every day.  She and her colleagues work to build common ground and relationships between seemingly disparate stakeholders in rural Harney County, Oregon.  Collaboration is fostered and supported from the ground up; and comes from all sides. This was especially evident in the occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in 2016.  The narrative of that event as well as the story about rural Harney County and it's residents, was told in mainstream media, yet the local perspective was not included.
