About Us

OUr Community Priorities

Our vision is a community united to create opportunities for all.

Through three interconnected Community Priorities — giving all children a strong start, supporting education and academic success and creating economic opportunity for all — we make a meaningful difference in the lives of those with greatest need in our community.

Three Community Priorities

Giving All Children A Strong Start in Life

Ensuring all children in our community are able to enter kindergarten ready to succeed.

Supporting Education and Academic Success

Building educational success through partnerships with schools, families and communities.

Creating Economic Opportunity for All

Ensuring people can meet their basic needs and have opportunities to move toward economic success.
