GOALS

SPEAR’s goals emphasize the development of public education and advocacy programs that will reduce poverty, and improve the quality of life for minorities, women, and children. The foundation focuses on social science research and the direct correlation between the escalation of poverty, illiteracy, moral/value and family disintegration. 

 

Sigma Public Education and Research (SPEAR) Foundation, an affiliate of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., was established in January 1993, during the administration of Past Grand Basileus Corine J. Green. This 501(c)3 organization seeks funding sources, and provides technical assistance on program management and development.  SPEAR was created to increase access of resources to local Community Based Organizations (CBO) for programming of community service activities.  This manual will serve as a resource guide for CBO’s to take advantage of the services SPEAR provides by informing them of the processes involved in acquiring additional funding sources and organizational linkages necessary for the transition of a successful project into an extended program.  The information provided encourages CBO’s to expand current projects and facilitate additional programming that increased financial support encourages.

 

SPEAR looks forward to fulfilling its mission to provide civic, economic, and educational progress of vulnerable families, and communities.  SPEAR strives to facilitate charitable marketplace access, community innovation and improvement, and nonprofit sector experimentation.  We extend full legal, corporate and financial sponsorship to the projects we support.
