Sorry, councilwoman, but just to be clear, we are not, as you know, from our agency.

We are not like a clinical staff So to answer your question, most of our partners are coming to us with either a grant they've received or programmed through their funders that they feel compelled to bring to our attention so we can help them amplify that program.

And if there's opportunities for us to partner with them as Alan said, and kind of amplify that message, we certainly do that.
