We encourage you to donate today to our fall 2014 campaign to keep the Center vibrant and allow it to continue to do its good work.
Recent success
The Center is drawing attention to the Southern Crescent, an impoverished crescent-shaped area stretching from Tidewater Virginia through the Mississippi Delta. Learn more by clicking on the tab in the navigation bar above.
This year, the Center has formed a broad, nonpartisan Work Group in South Carolina to discuss ways to reduce poverty and improve opportunities in the Crescent parts of the state, which is also known as the “Corridor of Shame.” More.
Most recently, the Center has worked with the University of South Carolina at Salkahatchie and the Southern Carolina Alliance on a six-county project that could bring millions of dollars of aid to poor counties in the southern part of the state that would grow jobs, improve economic development, reduce crime and make education better.
Your donations make a big difference to the center because it gives us the fuel to keep projects like the Work Group active. Thank you for your support.
