End Poverty Durham is a group of interfaith leaders and community-based organizations working collaboratively to eliminate poverty in Durham, NC.

_____________________________________________________________________

Durham is a thriving city with a median income of $48,900, yet it has ... 

  • a 27% child poverty rate; and
  • an 18% adult poverty rate.

This disparity is unacceptable, shameful, and contrary to the teachings of our faith.  We therefore seek to mobilize the faith community to remove the scourge of poverty from our city.  As a grassroots organization, we seek to support existing anti-poverty efforts and promote other initiatives that address the underlying causes of poverty.

Our Mission

  1. To make our congregations aware of the crisis of poverty in our city.
  2. To develop a plan to eliminate this crisis within the next 25 years

Our Projects

  1. Child Poverty Initiative
  2. Durham Economic Resource Center
