What We're All About

Communities Unlimited serves seven states in the southern United States, an area with many rural communities, a high minority population, high poverty and food insecurity. Where you live, what you look like or how much money you have should not determine access to opportunities.

This is where we live. This is where we work. These are our communities. We work side by side with individuals, communities and organizations to make opportunities accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Communities Unlimited, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation founded in 1976 that connects people to solutions through human connections. Through ingenuity combined with cutting-edge technology and expertise, people are unwinding generations of inequity and disinvestment to build healthy businesses, healthy communities, healthy food systems, healthy bank accounts and healthy lives.

Communities Unlimited consists of 4 primary program areas:

• Community Sustainability partners with communities to create vibrant, sustainable economies
• Entrepreneurship works alongside small business owners to grow their businesses
• Environmental Services works with rural communities’ water and wastewater treatment facilities
• Healthy Foods works with small-scale farmers and promotes healthy eating

These program areas create economic opportunities and solutions for communities in our seven-state service area to grow and thrive. We seek new partners who further support economic development to touch more aspects of each community.

We grow as the communities and clients we work with continue to grow.
