The Phoenix Project
The Phoenix Project is a statewide nonprofit organization that seeks to alleviate poverty by building a sustainable partnership between Virginia higher education and the Commonwealth’s most distressed communities that adds civic capacity to communities, strengthens the mission of universities, and provides a powerful context in which to prepare nonprofit and social entrepreneurs for tomorrow’s Virginia. With offices in Springfield and Petersburg, Virginia, and programs in Northern Virginia, Tidewater and Southside, we are developing innovative short-term and long-term strategies that benefit the Commonwealth as a whole.
