SOCIAL MOBILITY
There is an American ideal that all those who are willing to work for it should be afforded the opportunity to build a whole and healthy life for themselves and their families better than the generations that came before them.
​
Unfortunately, the trend throughout many regions of the United States and in our local community reveals that current and future generations will find themselves worse off, less stable, more vulnerable, and with lower levels of income and wealth than their parents. Our region’s residents simply cannot create whole and healthy lives with fewer opportunities to socially advance, especially those stuck in cycles of generational poverty and systemic discrimination. Interrupting this trend and creating a region in which our best ideals can be realized involves personal empowerment and real opportunities. Every person should have access to good educational environments and careers that provide for more than mere survival. To do this, we must address the factors contributing to the negative trends; public policy at the local, regional, state, and federal levels as well as the interpersonal connection between people of differing socio-economic and cultural backgrounds.
The Parkview Legacy Foundation is committed to partnering with others from every sector to create a region in which every child has what they need to successfully complete their education and achieve life empowering career paths with more whole and healthy lives than any previous generation.

Inland Empire Poverty Abolitionist Coalition
Building on shared understandings of the causes and impacts of generational poverty amongst our partners and over 1000 individuals we have trained on in our Anti-Poverty Platform, Parkview Legacy Foundation is in the process of building a local Poverty Abolitionist Coalition.This coalition will work together to ensure that the impact of generational poverty and the opportunities for those impacted by it are considered in every programmatic and policy level decision; and that individuals have clear, culturally empathetic, and sustained access to all of the resources that are essential for permanent exits out of poverty cycles.Please reach out if you are interested in joining this coalition and conspiring together for the good of our most vulnerable community members!
Things we are interested in...
​Parkview Legacy Foundation is especially interested in efforts that significantly increase the likelihood of upward financial well-being and generational wealth building for individuals, families, and communities impacted by poverty and/or systemic or historical barriers. These efforts include, but are not limited to, those that create and/or grow accessible pathways to wealth building, advance policy changes leading to sustainable long term-solutions, and creatively multi-solve across several of the vital conditions for thriving communities.
