Revolutionizing Nonprofits. Transforming Lives.
Revolution Never Looked So Revolutionary.
Now is the time to revolutionize nonprofits. Chicago’s EdgeAlliance leads the way. The current economic climate is severely affecting nonprofits. High unemployment, record foreclosures, and the meltdown of credit markets are forcing individuals and communities to turn to nonprofit organizations for help. Nonprofits, especially those that provide housing and supportive services, are faced with rising operating costs and declining revenues, while they try to meet the increasing demands for their services. It is a vicious cycle and it is time for a monumental change.
Introducing EdgeAlliance: Revolution Never Looked So Innovative.
EdgeAlliance represents a new concept in nonprofit management for organizations that focus on affordable housing and supportive services. By managing their administrative, operational, and financial needs, we help those organizations focus on their core competencies of housing and supportive services to people living on the edge of society. By creating an alliance of nonprofits devoted to giving people the opportunity to pursue happiness and a fuller life, we knit broken communities into the fabric of society.
Experience to Lead the Revolution.
EdgeAlliance may be a new concept in nonprofit management, but our leadership and staff have combined experience of nearly 200 years working to provide housing and supportive services to people on the edge of society. Previously our team members were part of AIDSCare, an organization that was renowned for its progressive work in housing and supportive services for people living with HIV/AIDS. AIDSCare has evolved into EdgeAlliance with a broader focus to respond to contemporary needs of HIV/AIDS, homelessness, veterans, and people living with disabilities.
In the past, our team has worked together to begin to transform Chicago’s impoverished North Lawndale area through the construction of a $26 million five building housing campus. When the campus is complete, it will provide housing to hundreds of men, women, and children, and will offer a wide range of life enhancement programs designed to help residents get their lives back on track, improve wellness, and transition toward greater independence. |
