Notes from the nonprofit

NCODE is serious about our anti-poverty mission and our historical successes can be located featured in the Salisbury Post Newspaper, and in The Independent Tribune Newspaper: Faith and Religion section. In addition to these past accomplishments, our board of directors developed expertise in anti- poverty program solutions. This includes gathering direct data from the voices of diverse needy populations. As a result, we have successfully developed and implemented a unique, that is, one-of-a-kind program solution. We believe our solution will have a national impact and is the catalyst our country needs for social -economic change, a lift for empowerment. NCODE is equipped and its operation is ready, including further plans to innovate and spur our mission. We welcome innovative program sponsors and businesses to partner with our mission.

We will address poverty, social-unrest, suffering, silent suffrage, and community despondency among the abject poor and under-served and address key issues commonly shared among populations.

We have determined key underlying factors, those which present opportunities to provide unique social resolutions to viable actors; a new approach to address and analyze underlying issues and conditions which contribute to social unrest and poverty. Since 2022, we have acquire the needed technology and now were moving forward to secure adequate facilities. In has been a long development and implementation, however we are determined to be the key nonprofit to inspire change by offering non-traditional anti-poverty strategies to raise the quality of life for many disadvantaged populations.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

A.
1. Improve measures in quality of life of underserved under-skilled low-income populations and other social and economically disadvantaged
2. Increase sentiment of happiness among Americans through opening networks of conversations, produce understanding literature and publications that reflect unique shared experience activities; contribute to a decrease in uncivil social unrest;
3. Improve access to opportunities and the type of opportunities and experiences offered to persons who are limited in skills and education;
4. To contribute to the reduction of duplication of services and repetitive funding that contribute to enable persons to remain in poverty by providing an alternative non-traditional solution


B. Organizational Goals

To be the leading nonprofit example and partner in providing non-traditional poverty solutions and resolutions by providing poverty catalyst programs and shared real-time poverty program research results that make a difference.

National Community of the Disadvantaged Enrichment, NCODE Inc's program is designed in itself as magnet capable of creating resources and attracting support from all sectors of society, government, viable actors, scholars, and educators to assist our mission to accomplish our goal of serving the needy, under-served, under-represented, cultural-socially deprived, economically disenfranchised, and deserving disadvantaged populations in communities, families, and individuals.

The strength and resilience of its board of directors to build a corporation to combat poverty and assist the disadvantaged poor, research poverty issues, keep the corporation actively in good standing for years, network and build relationships among communities, businesses, and volunteer participants of every group, sector, and class, is overwhelming capable. Our program is also capable of simultaneously tapping into the neglected, hidden, and unreached disadvantaged populations of clustered poor persons.

Currently NCODE is equipped with the necessary assets and framework, including technical equipment and supplies to operate at a minimum and field level, with increased capabilities through increasing our network of empowered partners, and funders will enhance our ability to accomplish our mission and successfully expand our program service capacity to its highest capability.

NCODE INC., has survived simply because it is proprietarily unique and non-traditional in its approach to poverty issues, and has the capability of pulling together all sectors of society to accomplish the greater good in society. Its board creativity in development spawns from those who have experience poverty. NCODE'S innovative programs speak to the hearts and minds of the average person to get involved in their own community, society and resolving their own quality of life and this is our strongest asset.

National Community of the Disadvantaged Enrichment, NCODE INC, through years of research has upgraded its mission and strengthened its strategic plans to incorporate significant changes and shifts in populations, improved access to opportunities, and specific needs of deserving disadvantaged persons. NCODE, through introducing its innovative alternative approach to combating poverty among disadvantaged persons of all sectors, groups, and classifications of persons, we realized that poverty is our main focus. The board of directors deemed poverty as a national issue.

We have accomplished much in the initial 5 years assisting approximately 10,000 individual and families with increasing their quality of life, and progressing the communities of Rowan and Cabarrus county North Carolina, however, our overall mission included North Carolina and any disadvantaged neglected community (or person) which desires to be strengthened, enriched with opportunity, and improve its quality of life, dignity of the needy, and improve opportunities for its people. NCODE INC., is seeking to bring innovation and change to many deserving through the launching of a centrally located administrative Regional office in Omaha, Nebraska.

Over the years, our board of directors progressed rapidly and accomplished significant research, administrative and operational set up, and increased contact with many disadvantaged persons resulting in the urgent need to implement the plans for the innovative non-traditional approach program which incorporates a significant national impact. The corporation has implemented the first phase set up and acquired 70 percent of the necessary equipment for the program office through in-kind support of our Board of directors, board advisers, community partners, and interested businesses; however, the lack of significant funding necessary for program operation costs still exist.

We invite you to partner with our mission and share in our urgency and concern to make a change and make a difference. Please contact us.
