Poverty is Complex
No one aspires to be poor. For North Carolina’s disadvantaged communities the cycle of poverty is inextricably intertwined with a cycle of poor health, disproportionately unfair treatment by the justice system, inadequate shelter, and limited access to education and stable employment.
Help Us End Poverty
Your investment in community-based anti-poverty strategies will strengthen families and communities, grow strong economies and make North Carolina a better place to live, work, play and learn for us all.
