Theme – To Rise Above Poverty is to be your best self

Background information:

R.A.P. Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides grants, volunteer opportunities, education, and information to empower impoverished families to rise above poverty.

They believe that when people exhaust their wealth and are reduced to poverty, they can rise above it with assistance, nurturing, and education. Advocates at RAP focus on these core values when coming alongside those who need help getting to their next level:

• Giving is a necessary component in receiving

• Wealth is relative

• There are cycles of poverty that can be broken

• Financial assistance is necessary to begin regaining the wealth that was lost

• "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap"

• Financial management is a learning process necessary to maintain wealth

• Knowledge is information and information is power

• RAP has goals that will prepare families to meet their financial responsibilities and positively change how they see themselves through

• Financial Assistance
