FOCUS AREAS

Focus Areas of the Foundation

Cultural Events Our culture is our community. We celebrate diversity and take pride in where we’ve come from and where we’re headed. Economic Development A rising tide lifts all boats, and the value of a thriving local economy has never been more evident than during the pandemic. Let’s build a network of support for the local businesses that are engines of resiliency for our communities. Education Where you live shouldn’t limit access to education. Let’s make the sky the limit for anyone who wants to learn. Healthcare A lack of equality in healthcare services leads to chronic health issues that could be both treatable and preventable with education and support. While flattening the curve of the pandemic, let's balance the scales within our healthcare system and give our community members the care that they deserve. Housing Housing a ff ordability is more than just a hardship experienced by individuals. Its scarcity can have many side e ff ects on a community's overall health. Seniors Our futures were built on their shoulders, and we can learn so much from their experience and love. Let’s provide support, dignity, and community to our seniors to whom we owe so much and who often ask for little more than a warm smile and a helping hand. Social Services Every community is unique. Let’s support the many needs arising from communities that are creatively woven from the dense fabric of our diverse cultures. Youth They are our future, and we need to give them hope. Let’s provide our next generation with tools not just to survive but to thrive in a rapidly changing.
