For nearly three decades, the East Lake Foundation has been instrumental in fostering mixed-income housing, enhancing infrastructure, and providing a comprehensive range of educational opportunities spanning from early childhood through college. Additionally, it has facilitated various community wellness and economic vitality initiatives, including junior golf, health and wellness activities, entrepreneurship programs, career readiness support, and financial literacy education.

The East Lake Initiative partner organizations have demonstrated that with aligned and concerted efforts, a neighborhood can flourish, offering its residents improved opportunities for upward mobility, enhanced health outcomes, and greater racial equity. The success of our collaborative work demonstrates the transformative power of partnership within a community that had long experienced disinvestment and a lack of opportunities.
