Mission

To improve the quality of life for those living and working in the city of Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Nelson, and Orange. We believe that strong community relationships, collaborative problem-solving, and broad engagement are powerful forces for change. We are committed to centering the experiences of those who are most impacted by problems and to widening access to our resources (both monetary and non-monetary) and ensuring they are equally distributed.

What We Do

We are committed to centering the experiences of those who are most impacted by problems and to widening access to our resources (both monetary and non-monetary) and ensuring they are equitably distributed.

By virtue of sharing a place, we are all interconnected.

In order to thrive, we must value and invest in one another.

Systems and structures intentionally advantage some and disadvantage others.

In order to have lasting impact, we must see people and communities in their full contexts.

Because people matter, history, race, and power matter.
