The mission of this community resource is to engage our community in the elimination of poverty.

Project Promise will work to eliminate poverty by building awareness of the causes and conditions of poverty in the Fox Cities, by educating the community about the impact and complexity of poverty, and by facilitating collaborative action. Project Promise will be a cooperative effort of providers, supporters of social services, businesses, community members and all others who seek to advocate for the needs of people living in poverty in the Fox Cities. It is not itself a provider or funder of direct services to the poor. Project Promise will work to accomplish its goal by using the following three strategies: Awareness, Education, and Action.
