Mission

VISION A united and resilient community where everyone belongs and everyone thrives. MISSION We mobilize and support a robust network of people, partners, and resources to co-create opportunities for every person in our community to live free from poverty and injustice. FOCUS We employ the community school strategy as the organizing framework for elevating student success, supporting families, and engaging communities throughout Buncombe County.

Notes from the nonprofit

In June of 1921, in the immediate aftermath of WWI, a crippling pandemic, and a historic 100-year flood, community leaders from five civic organizations came together to form the Asheville “Community Chest”—the first of its kind in North Carolina. The principle was both simple and powerful: they would unite their fundraising efforts into a single, community-wide campaign, the proceeds of which would support local agencies engaged directly in vital community recovery efforts. One hundred years later, in the face of severe economic, social and public health challenges wrought by the Coronavirus pandemic, that same body still pursues the same, fundamental purpose: uniting our community to confront challenges that no single individual or agency can solve alone.
