About
Urban Strategies LLC began as a vision born out of one woman's deep-seated passion for communities on the margins. Founded in 2003 by Lisa Cummins, the organization emerged from a desire to bridge the gap between grassroots efforts and the resources needed to effect real change. What started as a focused initiative has evolved into a national force, dedicated to equipping, resourcing, and connecting faith- and community-based organizations across the United States and Puerto Rico. Over the years, Urban Strategies has grown from a small consultancy into a robust social enterprise that partners with thousands of local organizations. By leveraging authentic relationships and a philosophy of servant leadership, the company has successfully implemented a wide spectrum of programs—from early childhood education and maternal health to youth mentorship and economic mobility initiatives. Today, Urban Strategies stands as a vital connector, ensuring that even the most hard-to-reach families have access to the support and opportunities they need to thrive, all while maintaining its core mission of empowering local leaders to transform their own communities.
