WHO WE ARE
The Pennies from Heaven Foundation believes in the power of the "we" mindset.
Instead of asking, "What's in it for me?" Pennies from Heaven asks, "What's in it for we"?
There is power in realizing that we are all connected and that what is good for our neighbors is good for us. We all do better when we work together and support one another.
Pennies From Heaven tackles the greatest needs head-on and works to build bridges that help all households have the ability to achieve self-sufficiency and the opportunity to thrive.
OUR ROOTS
Having been blessed with success, the Wilson family is committed to giving back to the community in ways that embrace the "we" mindset.
Through their involvement with the community foundation, John and Anita Wilson realized they could do more, and in 2012, Pennies from Heaven was formed.
CORE VALUES
The following values define our promise to the community we serve.
INNOVATE CONTINUOUSLY - We diligently seek ways to improve our work and increase our impact. We must be willing to think differently, explore new processes, services, or solutions, and not let fear of change hinder innovation. After all, when you change your mind, you can change your world.
LISTEN FIERCELY - We actively listen to internal and external voices to understand our community, the needs, and the systems and opportunities. Then we can acknowledge needs as opportunities that, when creatively addressed, enhance our community.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE- Leadership is an action, not a position. Therefore, we strive to dedicate the needed resources, including our time and energy, to create a lasting impact.
