Mission & Focus Areas
The Network’s mission is to build equity by serving those who create opportunities for people in the 24:1 community to learn, live, and leave a legacy. Its website identifies learning, living, and legacy as priority areas: early childhood education, meeting basic needs, and helping people and communities move through the housing continuum.
The Network’s 2024 filing describes direct activities in three continuums. The early childhood continuum provides wraparound support and funding to childcare providers, families, and children, including basic-needs support, trainings, and assessments for childcare centers. The youth continuum funds crisis support, youth services and development, college and career readiness, and youth leadership. The community investment continuum supports partners and municipalities addressing housing needs, economic diversity, and equitable home rehabilitation.
The Network supports organizations working in areas that include housing, youth programs, early childhood, literacy, mental health, and basic needs. For example, Beyond Housing describes its work as community development focused on homes and housing preservation, while the an individual recipient Area Diaper Bank says it works to end diaper need and period poverty through access, education, and advocacy.
