Education
We believe everyone deserves access to quality education and the opportunity to reach their full potential. Education is the most robust predictor of financial stability, but 12 percent of adults (25+) in Greenville County do not have a high school diploma, and only 35 percent hold a bachelor’s or graduate degree. With the right support, education can change the direction of a child’s life forever.

Vibrant & Equitable Communities
From Travelers Rest to Fountain Inn and from Greer to Greenville, we believe all communities should be safe, thriving, and equitable — no matter your zip code. To accomplish that vision, our most vulnerable neighbors must have their basic needs met, community stakeholders must work collaboratively to improve conditions, and policy and advocacy efforts must be centered around systems change that moves individuals and families out of poverty.
