COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS
Make Your Support Matter More
Empower Your Nonprofits to Solve Poverty at Its Core
Mission
To eradicate poverty in the United States for current and future generations.
Helping Nonprofits
We partner with nonprofits to help them develop and implement approaches that create lasting change.
Why Partner with The Shared Humanity Project?
Despite significant investments, traditional approaches to poverty have yielded minimal progress. In 1973, 1 out of 6 Americans needed assistance to get by; today, it’s 1 out of 4.
We believe it’s time for a new strategy—one that addresses root causes and leverages the insights of those with lived experiences. By collaborating with us, community foundations can strengthen the effectiveness of the nonprofits they support, ensuring resources are used efficiently to create lasting change.

Our tailored advisement services empower nonprofits to:
Produce Tangible Outcomes: Shift focus from treating symptoms to implementing solutions that address the root causes of poverty.
Optimize Resource Allocation: Ensure funds are used efficiently, maximizing the impact of every dollar spent.
