Unlocking Economic Mobility

Economic mobility is the cornerstone of the American Dream—a promise of advancement regardless of background. Yet, in Northeast Florida, this promise remains unfulfilled for many. Through our Economic Mobility Framework, we navigate the path toward a more inclusive and prosperous future. Northeast Florida faces unique challenges, with staggering statistics revealing the harsh reality: only a fraction of children born into poverty here will escape its grasp. Our framework is a beacon of hope, guiding us toward tangible solutions. Our approach, crafted through meticulous planning and bolstered by the generous support of philanthropists like MacKenzie Scott and Miller Electric, is a testament to the power of collaboration. It targets three critical impact areas: Basic NeedsFinancial Well-Being and Racial Equity. We are rewriting the narrative of Northeast Florida—one of resilience, progress and equal opportunity for all.
