About This Cause
UpTogether reveals, accelerates and invests in the initiative people are taking to improve their own lives. We use the power of information—compelling insights and personal success stories—to transform stereotypes, beliefs, practices and policies. Together with our partners and members, we are championing a community-led movement to boost long-term economic and social mobility. For 20 years (previously as Family Independence Initiative) we have honed our simple, yet revolutionary approach to invest in the initiative of hardworking and resourceful families—providing direct financial capital and platform to strengthen existing social networks and build new ones. Under our new brand, UpTogether, the movement continues. Individuals and families in the UpTogether Community set their own financial and personal goals, form collaborative groups to help accomplish those goals and choose how to spend the capital they receive in recognition of their initiative. Inspired by the historical successes of families in financially under-resourced communities, and based on the principles of respect, self-determination and social connections, we are championing a community-led movement to boost socioeconomic mobility for millions of people in America.
