CORE (Creating Opportunity for Resident Empowerment) Programs is INLIVIAN’s non-profit supportive services entity and the heartbeat of the organization. We provide supportive services to INLIVIAN residents and we do this by assessing the needs of our residents and coordinating enriching, resident-focused programs that assist and encourage residents along the path to achieving economic and social independence.

Corporate Sponsors
CORE offer various onsite programs, classes, or events for our residents. Receiving corporate sponsors for meals during these events would benefit these sessions tremendously. Also gift cards or items for giveaways is also helpful.
Volunteer for CORE’s Advisory Board
As a subsidiary of INLIVIAN, CORE is governed by a Board of Directors composed of INLIVIAN Board of Commissioners. Unlike other social service agencies, the INLIVIAN board is not actively engaged in fund raising or related community advocacy. Because CORE is pursuing new collaborations and partnerships within the community, and seeking philanthropic support, we created an Advisory Board whose dedicated role is advocacy, fund raising, and helping push CORE’s mission forward.
Advisory Board members are local ambassadors, engaging in outreach and advocacy on behalf of the program and making valuable contacts with potential supporters, funders, and local, state and national partners. Advisory Board members add to the local credibility and stature of the program with key stakeholders in the community.
If interested in learning more about our Advisory Board, please contact Tomico Evans, Executive Vice President at 704-336-5619 or email: tevans@coreclt.org
