Our Story
RCF Connects exists because the community needed something different.
Twenty-five years ago, residents, leaders, and
may look different — housing instability, economic uncertainty, health inequities, systemic racism, climate impacts — but the need for a trusted, adaptive, resident- centered organization remains just as urgent as ever. RCF Connects exists to respond when systems fall short and to evolve as conditions change; because communities don’t just need funding, they need connection, coordination, and long-term commitment. By attending this gala and supporting RCF Connects, you are investing in the relationships, infrastructure, and collective power that allow our communities not just to survive, but to thrive.
