pennies to the poor
As part of the economic recovery effort, we are maximizing opportunities for individuals, families, and communities that have been experiencing persistent poverty and have been deliberately kept out of the economic mainstream. For this reason, to make the American Dream more attainable, wealth building programs will be offered to community members in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Pennies to the Poor Foundation Inc. is acting as a conduit to pull in more resources and capital into areas that need it the most.
PTTP Foundation's Community Action-based Initiative whole heartedly endorses educational activities, and sustainable practices supporting the 2030 Agenda and the Justive40 Initiative. In our global effort to achieve Racial Equity in Environmental, Economic, and Social Justice, we are offering wealth building programs to help families climb the economic ladder to reach financial freedom.

The American dream
Human Capital investments and supportive resources are necessary to fund family initiatives supporting and achieving Sustainable Development Goals that will help mobilize the 2030 Agenda. Alongside a team of radical game changers, PTTP delivers Pivotal Power Packed PowerPoint Presentations created to galvanize community members into COLLECTIVE action. All environmental, social, and economic impact programs are designed to inspire and provoke social change within communities of color with the ultimate goal of causing an emergence of generational leaders to rise above hardships to pursue passion & purpose, and take their rightful place in their community.
An atmosphere conducive to learning, growing, and developing social and leadership skills are necessary to bring forth remarkable change in communities of color. Engaging in high quality conversations and collaborating exercises that help develop leadership skills with problem solving scenarios are done in a comfortable social setting for individuals with a low socioeconomic status. This gives participants the opportunity to share their ideas, concerns, and address public issues that have been overlooked for far to long.

the american dream
The "American Dream" is defined as having the freedom to be at liberty of living a prosperous and successful life gained through hard work and perseverance. It is the belief that no matter what class, race, religion, or lack of religion, no matter where you live or where you were born, anyone can take hold of opportunity and claim their right to attain their highest potential and highest version of their existence and upward social mobility for their family and children.
It is said that if you work hard enough, you can attain the American Dream. This kind of relentless determination can have long-lasting effects on your health and well-being. Dreadful consequences for working too hard are increased stress levels, reduced family time, poor physical health, and a shortened life span. These are just some of many risk factors that people of color have been historically exposed to generation after generation. Everyone deserves the opportunity to reach their highest potential. What we need is opportunity. A chance to achieve our goals, sharpen our skills, and grow personally to improve our situations which are essential for progress and fulfillment. These can be achieved through our STAR Programs.
THE AMERICAN DREAM
STAR SHIP
We are initiating global change in poor neighborhoods that are polluted with a number of environmental risk factors that threaten the safety, health, and well-being of community members. By addressing and raising awareness of systemic racism, we're able to break down barriers that threatens the growth and development of the people, the community, and the environment.
STAR LITE
The Global Economic System is designed to favor the elites, benefit the wealthy, while shunning the poor into deeper degrading contempt. To achieve Economic Independence in poor neighborhoods, we introduce to the people a new way of living and a new way of thinking that will generate a new economic paradigm that will change the course of one's life completely.
STAR SEED
We are genuinely passionate about strengthening poor neighborhoods by building up mothers & daughters through educational workshops. Women claiming their rightful place in their community is vital to neighborhood restoration. Healthy women means healthy families and healthy families means healthy communities and healthy communities means a better, brighter future for all.
STAR MSG
This program teaches our children in their wonder years about the intrinsic value and gifts awarded to every child that will accommodate their purpose here on earth. Being able to identify those gifts, talents and strengths is vital and necessary in order to harness the full spectrum of who children are and whom they will become as they grow, develop and flourish in their community.
