fighting poverty
together
for 10+ years
what we are addressing
Poverty and inequity are not inevitable. Real pathways to stability and opportunity are possible. The Rochester-Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative (RMAPI) was founded on this belief, working to dismantle oppressive structural systems and expand upward mobility for all.

Decline in Child Poverty
Decline in Total Number of People in Poverty since RMAPI began
HOW WE’RE DRIVING CHANGE
Creating pathways to a thriving community means removing the barriers that stand between people and opportunity.
Our Unity Agenda breaks down this vision, offering a roadmap for partners and community members to advance upward mobility for every person in Rochester.
