Mission
THE FOUNDATION'S VISION IS TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN A WAY THAT WILL ENRICH AND EMPOWER LIVES. EVERYONE IS WELCOME AT "THE E." WITH A FOCUS ON EDUCATION, YOUTH AND HEALTHCARE, WE STRIVE TO CREATE A THRIVING COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING (1) RENTAL SUBSIDIES AND COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMMING OPPORTUNITIES FOR NON-PROFITS, (2) DEVELOP EMERALD NON-PROFIT PROGRAMMING TO FILL UNMET COMMUNITY NEEDS, AND (3) OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIVERSE CITIZENS TO MEET AND LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER. CURRENTLY, THE EMERALD FOUNDATION IS HOME TO SIX NON-PROFIT TENANTS, HAS FOUR OF ITS OWN NON-PROFIT PROGRAMS (INCLUDING OUR "ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES" AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM, A FOOD PANTRY AND TWO PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES). WE ALSO HOLD MANY COMMUNITY EDUCATIONAL EVENTS, AND AN EMERGING ARTIST SERIES.
