Strengthening neighborhoods so people can thrive.

 What We Do

The Power of Neighborhoods

 

We strengthen neighborhoods by investing in the people who call the neighborhood home. We invest in the places where they live, learn, work, and grow. And we invest in the partnerships that help the whole community prosper.

Strengthening the 32805 ZIP Code

Since 2013, we've been working to strengthen the historic neighborhoods surrounding Camping World Stadium, in the heart of Orlando including The Communities West Lakes, Washington Shores, Lake Mann, and Johnson Village. These neighborhoods have long been rich in African American heritage, including many long-term residents who broke through the barriers of racial and economic inequality in the 1940s, ‘50s and ‘60s. These neighborhoods have also experienced inequity in public and private investments that support the well-being of residents.

 

We Invest In The Leadership of People


A community’s greatest asset is its people. We amplify the voice of residents by supporting them as agents of change.
