Program Initiatives
​Service has been the cornerstone of Winding Ivy Foundation since 2018. With the theme Investing in the Next Generation, the foundation seeks to build a legacy of service by galvanizing our community to lead on the front lines of change, education, and advocacy.
​
The Winding Ivy Foundation has six initiatives. Strengthen Our Sisterhood will serve as the “Foundation Initiative” as we strengthen our bonds to support our service mission.
​
The remaining five initiatives will serve as the “Program Initiatives,” which include:
-
Empower Our Families
-
Build Our Economic Wealth
-
Enhance Our Environment
-
Advocate for Social Justice
-
Uplift Our Local Community
​
These initiatives are designed to improve the lives of those we serve. We will work collaboratively to maximize our outreach on progressive endeavors and consistently produce leaders who will advance our credo of service.
​
A brief overview of each initiative is listed below.
Strengthen Our Sisterhood
For more than a decade, our sisterhood has served as the foundation for our foundation to be an indomitable force for good—in our communities, states, nation, and the world.
​
We will intentionally take time to fellowship and form lifelong relationships based on affinity, love, trust, respect, and shared goals and interests while concurrently building on our foundation to serve others.
Empower Our Families​
The Winding Ivy Foundation has a strong history of supporting and servicing families, for we understand that a healthy family is the foundation of a healthy community.
​
We will take a multi-generational approach to fortify families within our communities by addressing child hunger and promoting positive youth development and leadership, mental well-being, and senior life.
Enhance Our Environment​
The Winding Ivy Foundation galvanizes our organization's active members to make a significant impact on our environment.
​
We will employ select strategies to optimize our collective ability and to improve and protect the environment at scale. We will prioritize activities that promote the adoption of more sustainable and responsible practices.
Advocate for Social Justice​
We have always aimed to be at the forefront of social justice, promoting fairness and equity. We stand in the gap to empower our communities and act in the best interests of all people through social advocacy and justice.
​
We will equip communities with the tools, knowledge, and support to activate their voices and mobilize self-help to empower communities to help themselves.
Uplift Our Local Community
The Winding Ivy Foundation aims to serve all. We have an ongoing history and reputation for making an impact through local change.
