Abstract

Anchor organizations are typically, but not exclusively, not-for-profit organizations that are based in a city or town and are unlikely to move because their mission is intrinsically bound up in that area. The author has worked for non-profit-organizations embedded in residential communities. The communities may benefit from their relationship with the non-profit. Some non-profits and communities have a beneficial relationship. The author will review a nonprofit that has aligned its core functions to improve the socioeconomic conditions of the community where it is based. The analysis will be with Centers for New Horizons, a 52-year-old nonprofit located in the Bronzeville section of Chicago.
