Erie Together

Erie Together is a groundbreaking collective impact movement to improve our community, the local economy, and people’s lives. We do this by facilitating alignment and collaboration among organizations, schools, employers and citizens to make the Erie region a community of opportunity where everyone can learn, work, and thrive. Everyone is welcome at Erie Together's table to help identify top community priorities, put plans in
place to address them, and execute those plans. And because we don't have a dedicated funding stream, each donation we receive is vitally important to our work. 

Everything we do is grounded in three overarching objectives: helping more kids become successful adults, more individuals secure and maintain family-sustaining jobs, and more families become self-sufficient. We have a 15-year track record of impact, and we have so much more on the horizon. 

The contributions we receive through Erie Gives 2025 will help prepare kids for life after high school through high quality career exploration, civic engagement opportunities, and skills development key to their future. This funding will help us bring greater visibility to in-demand local jobs, helping employers and job seekers alike. And it will help us continue to tackle priorities related to early learning, addressing transportation barriers, and others deemed critical to our region's success.
