Last week, the Upaya team and Board of Directors gathered in Seattle for a week of strategic planning. It’s impossible to think about where we see Upaya going in the future without recognizing the people who have helped get us to where we are today.
This Thanksgiving, were sharing our gratitude with the individuals and organizations who make our work possible. Together we have accelerated 31 companies, made investments in 14 small businesses, and created over 10,000 dignified jobs for the poorest of the poor. Thank you for your ongoing support!
