Last night we celebrated this year’s cohort of the United Way Financial Empowerment series — presented by Better Money Habits®️! For 6 weeks, these nonprofits were committed to learn and share financial literacy on topics that will impact their respected organizations. We hope that the materials and insight will serve you well going forward. Thank you to all of the BHM Champions for devoting your time and sharing your knowledge. #BetterMoneyHabits #UnitedWay #community #BofAVolunteers #givingback
Last month, our Interim President and CEO Kathryn Firmin-Sellers had the opportunity to join United Way CEOs from across the country for the United Way Worldwide Advocacy forum at the White House. At the 2024 United Way White House Briefing, our leaders learned about the challenges and opportunities facing our communities and how the Administration's partnership and policies will help create more meaningful change across the nation. We will apply what Kathryn learned and continue our work across our four-county footprint, investing in the greater good in greater Charlotte.
"In July 2024, Charlotte-Mecklenburg learned the good news that we no longer trail the nation in our ability to lift children and families out of generational poverty." Our Interim President & CEO Kathryn Firmin-Sellers reflects on the Opportunity Insights team's latest research, the progress Charlotte has made and how investments into people and places, like United Neighborhoods, are helping pave the way for future success.

Opportunity Insights, the Harvard University-based research group led by Dr. Raj Chetty, today published “Changing Opportunity: Sociological Mechanisms Underlying Growing Class Gaps and Shrinking Race Gaps in Economic Mobility,” which shows Charlotte moved from No. 50 to 38 in economic mobility (the ability of children from low-income families to climb the income ladder and thrive). Charlotte is ranked No. 3 out of 50 on economic mobility progress, moving upward faster than peer cities. In addition, Mecklenburg is the only county in the country where low-income white children experienced no decline in economic mobility. “Charlotte is a city that in many ways has and continues to be ahead in our approach to community progress,” says Sherri Chisholm, Executive Director of Leading on Opportunity, an organization formed in 2017 in response to the initial study, which advocates for and tracks the progress in Charlotte that is often not readily available to the public. “We refused to accept our low ranking, and made a commitment to improve lives in Charlotte.” Read the Update: https://lnkd.in/eCZhY_id #EconomicMobility #CharlotteNorthCarolina #LeadingOnOpportunity #OpportunityInsights #Partnerships #Charlotte #Mecklenburg
