A New Era

We are on the cusp of a new era of our work – one of renewed focus and refined presence. We proudly share with you our new brand identity, which is the outward face of our thoughtful, strategic commitment to the Philadelphia region.

Over the next year, we’re launching a new strategic plan that fulfills our vision of a world where the path to prosperity is available to all. We have defined four values that will guide our work in the years to come.

Look Up. Challenge Poverty., our new tagline, is a call to action for our partners, supporters, and participants, and a dedicated commitment to making change. Our new logo, and the redesigned website that showcases it, was designed by our friends at J2 Design, who worked with us to capture ECS’ exceptional mix of compassion and transformation.

Look Up with courage, capacity, and will.

We believe that every individual has the courage, capacity, and will to define and achieve their measure of success, and to help remove barriers for another in need.

Look Up and know that your capacity is limitless.

The board and staff at ECS share a commitment to challenge and reduce intergenerational poverty and to increase the ability of people to improve their lives and achieve economic independence.

Look Up and see how you can make a difference.

We call upon every person to participate in sustainable, positive change for our communities.

We are grateful to have your support in this common work. We urge you to take a look around the redesigned www.ecsphilly.org, and encourage you to visit often to learn more as this work unfolds.
