Our Bridgeport Prospers team is committed to advancing racial equity and addressing the root causes of systemic and institutionalized racism. We use a collective impact model as no one organization or program alone can address the needs and aspirations of our community. We support and advance the needs and health of our community partner organizations. Our place-based partnership receives backbone support from United Way of Coastal and Western Connecticut and believes in the power, promise, and value of the community’s lived experiences in making data-informed decisions.
