POTRERO Unido
Partner with ADI Potrero—Help Build the Town You Call Home
ADIP volunteers have stretched and limited resources to keep the heartbeat of this town running, and we simply can’t do it alone. Through our POTRERO Unido partnership program, local businesses and organizations fuel the work we do—sharing input, funding projects, contributing materials and skills. In return, we amplify our partners’ visibility as trusted supporters of Potrero’s future.
It’s a full-circle relationship: you give to Potrero, Potrero gives back to you, and the community grows stronger together.
