WHAT
WE DO

PROGRAMS & PROJECTS.

Through our partnerships, we support vulnerable populations, including working families, youth, seniors, individuals living with disabilities, veterans, and those impacted by the criminal justice system – enabling them to move forward in their goals.

Neighborhood Revitalization


Vibrant communities are places where individuals can thrive and succeed and have the opportunity to live and work with safe, decent housing, transportation to jobs, strong business corridors and thriving arts and culture districts. We support local and regional revitalization efforts, taking a holistic approach to building inclusive communities, creating economic opportunity and livable neighborhoods.

Jobs


Employment is a key driver of economic mobility. That’s why we’re focused on building pathways to employment by supporting a range of workforce development opportunities, including education, upskilling and reskilling programs that will help individuals and families stabilize and advance.

Small Business Resiliency

Small Businesses help drive economic mobility and generational wealth and play an important role in the overall health of our nation’s economy. In response to the challenges small business owners face, we’re supporting nonprofits assisting under-resourced entrepreneurs, including women and minority business owners, as they address their short-term needs and help them grow and scale.

Youth workforce development and employment 

Health

Food Access and Nutrition
 

Nonprofit programs helping young people (14-24 years old) transition from education to meaningful employment (i.e. high school completion programs, skills-training for hard and soft skills, early work experience, first-time employment, internship and/or apprenticeships especially for disconnected youth.

Within under-resourced communities, generations of lack of access to care and health resources have contributed to poorer health outcomes. We are focusing on programs and organizations who are working to address the economic and social conditions that influence family stability and an individual’s health, including access to quality community- based health services

 We engage food-based health care partnerships; programs addressing fresh and nutritious food access; programs that address dietary nutritional needs and education for persons with underlying health conditions (diabetes, cancer, heart-health)
