Turner Foundation for Community Advocacy, Inc. is creating a systematic process that is scalable and repeatable in bringing resources and attention to underserved communities. Working collaboratively with city government decision-makers, community church leaders, neighborhood planning units (NPU), city council representatives, homeowner’s associations, corporations and non-profit organizations, foundations, local police, and fire departments to align focused attention and resources to improve underserved communities.
We are a connecting point to helping underserved individuals access resources, build relationships, and achieve long-term systemic change. Our goal is to establish a repeatable process that will yield similar outcomes in communities that lack the resources and attention they need while teaching the next generation of community advocates how to do the same.
The Turner Foundation for Community Advocacy, Inc. focuses on
beautification, cleanliness, safety, security, access, and modernization.
Here are some of the projects we undertake:
- Street clean-up and trash removal in parks and adjacent surface streets
- Reduce access to illegal dumping sites
