Shineforth has all the elements of a world-class organization. Our program goals are intentionally chosen to focus on a lifetime of good for those we serve. The outcomes are so brag-worthy that organic growth occurs with ease. We foster replication of our work in others in support of Virginia’s children and families.

Shineforth is the anchor for an ecosystem of aligned organizations that partner to support each of our worthy and related causes. This expands our social impact and enables sustainability. Our culture embraces an approach of “letting go of that which no longer serves us” to make room for new capacity. Our staff are dynamic, aligned, and have the energy reserves to dream, innovate and create. Shineforth is a measurably diverse, equitable, and inclusive community. Volunteers are immersed in the work with us, amplifying our capacity and impact.

We will have completed our Richmond campus transformation to reflect Shineforth’ new vision. We will have reimagined the regional centers’ workplace to match the evolving hybrid-workforce needs. We will have built an infrastructure that enables a seamless blend of virtual and in-person work throughout the organization.

Our financial position is strong because our core programs are highly utilized; we have invested our assets wisely and addressed inefficiencies effectively. Our fundraising goals are met and growing year over year because we have provided clarity to our supporters and the value of their investment in us is abundantly clear.

 Our values exemplify how we do our work. See our values here.
