Kudos to Project L.I.F.T. (Leadership and Investment for Transformation) and its Charlotte, NC partners for their "infrastructural and systemic" strategic planning for the welfare of the community through maximizing investments - people, capital resources and ideas.
Project L.I.F.T., a coalition of foundation and community leaders working to explore the most effective role for philanthropy in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in North Carolina, has announced a grant of $950,000 to Communities in Schools to enhance programming in West Charlotte corridor schools during the 2011-12 school year.
The partnership will build on CIS's existing programs, services, and community connections in the region and provide additional services alongside Project L.I.F.T.'s efforts in local schools.
Foundations working with the community, at the neighborhood-level, is optimum to ensuring that America is economically sound and globally competitive on all sides. We, ALL, have a hand in making sure that the capital resources are "one-of-the-fertilizers" for sustainability. It requires an ALL HANDS on DECK approach supporting the same agenda.
