The organization was started with ten million dollars from the Northwest Area Foundation out of Minnesota.

It's goal was to help reduce the causes of poverty.  But the funding is scheduled to stop at the end of 2013.

Jason Carr, the Executive Director of Partnership to End Poverty, says they haven't heard whether the foundation will continue to support them past 2013.  They hope to hear the answer to that question in early 2013.

If they don't, Partnership will look at dissolving the organization or finding other funding.
