In episode 217 of the Disruptors for GOOD podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Caroline Whistler, CEO and Co-Founder of Third Sector, on the organization's mission to transform government funding for social impact.

Founded in 2011, Third Sector is a national nonprofit organization that works with government agencies, community-based organizations, and philanthropic partners to catalyze change and confront inequities.

As a technical assistance organization, Third Sector advises its partners on reshaping policies, systems, and services to ensure they are designed with the community’s needs at the forefront.

With a track record of working in over 50 communities, Third Sector has helped deploy more than $1.8 billion in government resources toward outcomes that matter.

Their work focuses on four critical areas:

1. Behavioral Health

2. Diversion and Reentry

3. Early Childhood Development

4. Economic Mobility

Third Sector’s work is grounded in the belief that unlocking possibility begins with making meaningful connections. They take the time to fully understand the needs of the communities they serve, ensuring that public services are responsive and effective.

This approach not only rebuilds trust in public systems but also ensures that services are delivered when they are most needed, achieving the best possible outcomes for all.

By focusing on transforming public systems, Third Sector is helping to create a future where all people, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to thrive.
