We all belong in a thriving future. Together, we can meet urgent needs today and make lasting change to address the root causes of disparity in the Greater Twin Cities. These three goals are vital to ensuring everyone in our community can reach their full potential regardless of income, race or place:

1. Episodes of homelessness and hunger are rare, brief and nonrecurring.
2. All young children and their families enter kindergarten ready to thrive, and all youth have the skills, relationships and mindsets to choose and direct their own future success.
3. All adults enter the workforce prepared for skilled employment and increased wealth.

Even simple actions can make bold impact, because your personal approach to giving is an important part of a unified movement of diverse changemakers.
