Who We Are

Friends of The Coalition is a partner of The Urban Affairs Coalition

The Friends of the Coalition (FOC) is a network of professionals who support the Urban Affairs Coalition’s mission as a Home for Nonprofits.

The Friends of the Coalition are leaders who are recruited, chosen, or step up to join the Friends of the Coalition because of their commitment to the community, professional accomplishments, and because they wish to be enthusiastic ambassadors for the Coalition. Through the Coalition’s mission of uniting government, business and individual initiative – and through direct support and service of the Friends of the Coalition, UAC is able to improve the quality of life in the region, build wealth in urban communities and solve emerging issues.
