The Prosperity Campaign engages in the community through organizing, marketing and inspiring. PC does this through Individuals, Organizations & Institutions.
Individuals: Community Members, Business Owners
Organizations: Community Centers, Businesses, & Non- Profit
Institutions: Congregations, Schools, Support Groups.
The Prosperity Campaign has created strong relationships with organizations and institutions on the East Side of Saint Paul. The organizations and institutions are also called Prosperity Campaign Partners. The PC Partners are also called Providers and Connectors. Providers and Connectors are the link between the community and the Prosperity Campaign. The Providers have educational programs to increase your knowledge in the following areas: jobs, homeownership, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and leadership development. The Connectors are the Organizations and Institutions that link the Prosperity Campaign to the East Saint Paul community. The Connectors introduce the individuals to the PC and support the Prosperity Campaign in accessing the people who can benefit from the programs that our Providers have.
Providers are the agencies/organizations that have capacity & support to assist in the increase of wealth through programs they offer.
Connectors are the people and places that mobilize and engage people in accessing existing wealth creation programs through our Providers.
What is the Prosperity Campaign
The Prosperity Campaign itself plays both parts a connector and a provider.
PC provides a list of resources that can assist in achieving wealth increasing goals. Once the PC is introduced to an individual who is interested in our services we set-up fifteen minute assessment to see what programs interest that particular individual. Completing the assessment interview helps us to choose which Providers have the appropriate programs for that individual.
PC then connects you to our Providers (agencies/organizations) with the programs to help achieve self chosen wealth increasing goals.
The Prosperity Campaign has many Providers with several main focuses. We have listed all of the programs the Providers offer through the Prosperity Campaign.
Once an individual is familiar with the resources that are available through the PC he or she has can set personal goals to use the resources that they feel can assist in increasing their wealth. The PC provides familiarity with programs offered by the Providers so that an individual will learn what goals to set for their personal needs.
The Prosperity Campaign works to engage in community and promote positive transformations through organizing people & organizing money to create Community Power.
