Programs: UpTogether is a national nonprofit organization working to disrupt the status quo approach to ending poverty. We aim to change policies, systems, and underlying beliefs so that all people in the United States are seen and invested in for their strengths and can build power, reinforce their autonomy, and drive their own economic and social mobility. We do this by investing in people in historically undervalued communities and amplifying their lived experiences, working together to show philanthropy and government why they should invest directly in people to advance state and local policies that accelerate socioeconomic mobility.
