Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Nonprofit Management
Target demographics: We partner with communities to remove barriers to inclusive prosperity by launching and scaling proven programs that meet community-identified needs.
Direct beneficiaries per year: 565,744 people across 12 Cities
Geographic areas served: We are a national nonprofit with local sites in 12 cities. Our locations include: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Greater Newark, Kansas City, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, and Twin Cities.
Programs: The GreenLight Method is our community-focused approach to identify proven social innovations that address the needs that matter most to residents facing systemic barriers to economic opportunity. In each of our sites throughout the process, we engage deeply across all sectors of the local community, partnering with a diverse Selection Advisory Council (SAC) and listening directly to those with lived experiences and community knowledge proximate to the priority needs we look to address. Since 2004, GreenLight has grown to 12 sites, on pace to add a site each year, and this year alone reached more than half a million individuals and families. The tremendous impact of 44 portfolio organizations is bolstered by the more than $206M of additional non-GreenLight funding they’ve received to date. GreenLight’s investments address unmet needs often stemming from longstanding racial inequities identified by each community each year. Our impact increases exponentially as our growing portfolio of innovative programs make measurable progress each year, all across the GreenLight network.
