Communities Unlimited is unwinding generations of inequity and disinvestment.
Communities Unlimited ignites hope by bridging racial, economic, and geographical boundaries in Southern communities emerging from generations of persistent poverty.
In this nation, access to opportunity should not depend on where you live, what you look like, or what you have in the bank. In the communities with which we partner, we witness perseverance, talent, and strength to create solutions and opportunities for all.
Combining human connection and ingenuity with cutting-edge technology and expertise, Communities Unlimited reveals the unlimited potential in the people and the places we work with.

Rural America is as diverse as the country itself, from the geography to the people. No two rural communities are the same.
Lack of access to resources and opportunities has limited the growth potential of the innovative and entrepreneurial people that live in rural places. Communities Unlimited is committed to eliminating the limitations.
