The
2010 Walk for a Healthy Community is scheduled for Saturday, May
22, 2010 at 9 am on City Island, Harrisburg. Online registration
begins February 1. Please consider getting a team together
to walk for Firm Foundation. 100% of the funds raised go
directly to Firm Foundation as all event costs are underwritten
by Highmark Blue Shield. In 2009 we were named "Most
Improved Organization" with an over 50% increase in funds
raised...so thanks to everyone who came out in 2009!

Mission - Firm Foundation of
PA is a grassroots Christian Community Development Corporation
with 501(c)(3) nonprofit status whose mission is to foster
revitalization within the lives and environments of the Capital
Region through economic empowerment, restorative justice
initiatives, housing improvement, educational enrichments, and
community advocacy.
Christian
Community Development
-
Firm
Foundation strives to institute a holistic approach to Christian
Community Development. We value Church-based ministry,
evangelism and social action as equally important partners,
incarnational grass-roots movements, and the pursuit of
justice and peace (shalom).
Learning Organization
-
Firm
Foundation strives to be a Learning Organization which builds
upon the core disciplines of Systemic Action/Thought, Personal
Mastery, Mental Models, Shared Vision, and Team Learning. We
attempt to systemically analyze community dynamics and steer
away from unintended negative consequences.
Asset-Based
-
We strive
to utilize an asset-based approach that leverages the
community’s capacity rather than continuously highlighting the
community’s “needs” and “deficits.”
Collaborative Capacity
Building -
As called
upon by the faith-based community, Firm Foundation will serve as
an intermediary for collaborative faith-based community
development efforts, building capacity and serving as a conduit
for funding.

Very soon our

restore, support and strengthen you, placing you on a firm foundation.
