UrbanPromise Charlotte: Rooted for Restoration

Shannon Williams
Managing Partner

Armstrong McGuire is honored to partner with UrbanPromise Charlotte, a nonprofit dedicated to equipping children and youth with the spiritual, academic, and social development they need to become Christian leaders committed to restoring their communities.

Together, we have helped bring to life UrbanPromise Charlotte’s first-ever capital campaign focused on strengthening capacity, Rooted for Restoration. This transformative campaign is designed to strengthen the organization’s foundation, providing the critical resources needed to expand its impact and bring its strategic vision to fruition.

Starting with the feasibility study and continuing throughout the campaign process, UrbanPromise recognized the importance of deepening its roots to better serve its students, Street Leaders, alumni, and staff. By investing in their future, they are ensuring that the next generation of leaders has the tools to truly flourish. As they near the completion of the first phase of the capital campaign and are on track to reach their goal, we celebrate their progress and remain proud partners in their journey toward lasting transformation.
