“Pillars of Promise has been an active participant in neighborhood conversations throughout the lengthy process of developing the Reichardt Community Recreation Center on the city’s near northside and they continue to seek out opportunities for nonprofits to enhance the services to be delivered at the new site. I greatly appreciate their involvement and genuine approach to assisting the families of the neighborhood.”

“When we were strategizing our future and looking at the potential of purchasing and renovating a facility that will have both housing and a school, Pillars of Promise came along and not only helped us identify a building that was affordable and would allow us to continue our dream of encouraging and educating young people living in disadvantaged and oppressive circumstances, but they also assisted us in the negotiation to make it a reality.”  

“As we were looking for creative ways to keep the Grubb Y open while the Reichardt Center is being built, Pillars of Promise stepped up to strategize a creative approach with the city of Des Moines and also provide financial support to close the funding gap.”
