An interdisciplinary, cooperative campaign combatting poverty through people-centered policy and advocacy
Our Vision
ECPCA dares to imagine a liberated future, free from systemic racism and poverty, in which all children experience childhoods of abundance, dignity, love, and opportunities to thrive. To achieve this vision, we are building a joyful movement by centering communities, developing authentic partnerships, and advancing public investments that create transformative, intergenerational change.
How We Work
We work inclusively, collectively, and intersectionally, with an anti-racist lens, to achieve our vision. We uplift the Black, Brown, Indigenous, AAPI, and immigrant communities disproportionately harmed by poverty.
Our Theory of Change guides how we engage in our work.
A Joint Campaign
ECPCA is a project of GRACE (Gather, Respect, Advocate, Change Engage), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization, and the GRACE End Child Poverty Institute, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit social welfare organization.
GRACE’s Mission
GRACE strives to address the vital needs of people living in poverty by responding in the Vincentian tradition to the call of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In fidelity to Catholic Social Teaching, GRACE especially seeks to make a positive difference in the lives of low-income families and their children through value-based collaborations and by formulating, implementing, and expanding measures to reduce barriers to full personal development and economic stability.
