MISSION
Breakthrough partners with those affected by poverty to build connections, develop skills, and open doors of opportunity.
We Support People Through
We're all in. Are you?
The All In Campaign is more than just a financial campaign. It’s a movement to go deeper into your purpose, commitment, and calling. Through the All In Campaign, Breakthrough is mobilizing our entire community of friends and supporters to make a greater impact in East Garfield Park through new program opportunities that will benefit residents for decades to come.
Our goal is to raise $9M to support our bold vision. Thanks to our generous supporters, we have reached 90% of our financial goal. Join us in making a greater impact by donating today.
