Empowering The Poor is humble at its mission of empowering poor communities to self-reliance in the United States and around the world. We recognize the complexity and Herculean challenges facing the poor, and seek to partner with faith-based organizations (churches, temples, etc.), private and public corporations, schools (elementary school to colleges and university around the world), clubs, professional and amateur athletic teams, etc.
Here are our substantive Partnership Opportunities

Empowering The Poor-I am Blessed Network
Empowering The Poor-I am Blessed Network provides individuals with the unique opportunity to join a like-minded and diverse group of individuals who serve the poor by giving monthly and annual sacrificial and leadership gifts to Empowering The Poor.
