The fiscal challenge our nation has faced over recent months has had a significant impact on this state, city, and local community. We have witnessed like never before: poverty, job loss, inadequate schools, and a confused marketplace.
Recently, an alliance of community leaders and socially responsible companies committed to launch a unified effort to promote optimism and encouragement, and to provide strategies and solutions that change the way people think and act. These collaborative efforts provide resources that can be used for public good and afford solutions that improve the health and welfare of our communities at large
As a nation, we prove we are a “Generous Community” by our response and aid to tragedies such as: 9-11, tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and the recent Haiti earthquake. Imagine an effort for your community that ignites the same humanitarian motivation and action.
Generosity is a key component of recovery and transformation. Each of us has a capacity to impact our community. When our immediate community is positively impacted, we benefit. And when we mobilize as a united community; individuals, organizations, schools, and businesses are healthier

A Short description of Generous Community
Generous Community is an organization that creates sustainable solutions which enable communities to break longstanding cycles of poverty, inadequate schools, job loss, and a confused marketplace. Collaboration is always at the core of our work. By collaborating with diverse public- and private-sector partners, we help provide strategies and solutions that change the way people think and act. Partnerships with businesses are a critical and unique element of our approach. These cooperative efforts provide resources that can be used for public good and solutions that stand on their own, for the long haul to improve the health and welfare of our communities at large.
More than 3,000 Generous Community volunteers have participated with the donation and distribution of food, clothing, and supplies to our local citizens. This group has also provided housing for the poor and serves our at risk children through establishing mentoring and tutoring programs for schools and youth service organizations.
