What they do
OUR MISSION is to OFFER FAMILY-CENTERED COACHING and FOSTER THRIVING COMMUNITIES. OUR CORE VALUES ARE COMPASSION, INTEGRITY, UNITY, and GRIT. OUR MISSION and VALUES GUIDE EVERYTHING WE DO, FROM HOW WE DESIGN PROGRAMS to HOW WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS. AT ELI THRIVE, WE SEE EVERY PARTICIPANT AS RESILIENT and CAPABLE of THRIVING. OUR GOAL is to EMPOWER FAMILIES TOWARD SELF-SUFFICIENCY THROUGH KINDNESS, COMPASSION, and ACCOUNTABILITY. WE RECOGNIZE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENABLING and EMPOWERING. ENABLING FOCUSES ON SOLVING PROBLEMS for SOMEONE, OFTEN CREATING DEPENDENCE. EMPOWERING, ON THE OTHER HAND, MEANS EQUIPPING FAMILIES WITH TOOLS, CONFIDENCE, and SUPPORT SO THEY CAN SOLVE CHALLENGES THEMSELVES and BUILD LASTING INDEPENDENCE. WE BELIEVE THAT WHEN FAMILIES THRIVE, COMMUNITIES THRIVE. and WE BELIEVE THAT AS A STAFF and TEAM, WE MUST LIVE OUT THOSE VALUES EVERY DAY.

Money made simple

- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
