Public Thread works alongside corporate partners, community organizations, and individual supporters who share an interest in responsible material use, domestic manufacturing, and long-term systems change.
Partnership and support take many forms and evolve over time.
Corporate Partners
Corporate partners work with Public Thread through custom product development, product collections, material collaboration, and long-term production relationships. These partnerships often integrate recovered or surplus materials into functional products while aligning operational and environmental goals.
Some corporate partners also choose to support Public Thread’s broader mission through philanthropic contributions or collaborative programs.
Community & Nonprofit Partners
Public Thread collaborates with community organizations, nonprofits, and educational institutions to support material recovery, workforce participation, and learning opportunities. These partnerships often focus on shared resources, programming, and community engagement rather than product outcomes.
Community partnerships help extend the reach and relevance of Public Thread’s work beyond manufacturing alone.
Founders, Funders & Individual Supporters
Public Thread’s work is also supported by individuals, foundations, and funders who believe in material recovery, local production, and long-term systems change. Support helps sustain operations, education programs, and experimentation that may not be directly tied to product revenue.
Supporters contribute at different levels and in various ways over time.
Support Embedded in Practice
Support enables Public Thread to invest in systems that make responsible production possible, including material recovery, workforce participation, education, and operational resilience. These efforts strengthen the foundation that allows product partnerships and programs to succeed.
Support is integrated into the work rather than separated from it.
