Our mission is to improve the lives of youth through a unique venture philanthropy model that empowers, develops, and educates nonprofit organizations serving young people. Since our founding as a 501c3 in 1995, we've taken a uniquely holistic approach to address the many different needs of nonprofits, from improving fundraising practices and building boards, to funding critical elements of infrastructure. By applying the best practices from the corporate and nonprofit sectors, we empower our partner nonprofits with the tools to achieve sustainable growth. We currently partner with 60 youth-serving nonprofits that work with over 258,000 kids each year.

EERC mission is to facilitate communication and forge friendships between students from Romania and USA. We believe that exposure to other cultures is invaluable in shaping the younger generation views of the world and of their own potential in positive and enduring ways. We create opportunity for middle school students from Romania to experience American life by attending overnight camps or living with a local family while attending local day camps. This experience opens further opportunities for them to pursue when they return home. Equally important is to present these vibrant young people as ambassadors of the Romanian culture. In our experience, the Americans whose lives they touch find these interactions enriching and gain new insights about other cultures. These shared experiences produce benefits to both sides that extend long beyond the immediate experience, even to subsequent interactions that occur beyond our program. We select students who demonstrate the intellectual and emotional maturity to benefit from this unique opportunity. They are boys and girls from various areas of Romania who are fluent in English and who demonstrate strong academic and personal characteristics. With our help, this rising generation will be engaging in a world without borders. We bring the world closer to home.

We meet kids and families at the most challenging times of their lives and help them overcome some of life's most difficult circumstances – abuse and neglect, complex emotional and behavioral issues, and family crises. We offer to help assist during these hard times through residential treatment services, individual and family therapy, and community based services.

Our hospital is a non-profit private institution that offers health services with emphasis on highly-complex patient care.

The Hospital also participates in the development of human talent and in research development in health areas to contribute to the generation of knowledge.

HOW CAN I HELP? Every day you hear of poverty and social injustice at home and abroad. People sometimes find it easier to ignore this reality, not from a cold heart but believing they can be of little or no significance. But our work has shown that it is ordinary people who can and do make an extraordinary difference. No one person or group can solve all the problems, but we can support the suffering and stand with them in solidarity, helping them make the necessary changes to improve their lives. What may seem very little, like a fund drive in a school, community, or church, a donation, or giving your time and service, together is a whole lot. Since most poverty and injustices are human-made, they can be unmade. Relieving poverty and injustice can and will be achieved with the good will and involvement of large numbers of people. Every support is a "Rainbow of Hope". You can choose to be part of the solution.

Our mission is to empower individuals and communities by providing them with the necessary resources, skills, and support to overcome challenges and achieve sustainable development. We believe in fostering self-reliance, promoting social equity, and creating opportunities for marginalized populations.
