Mission

Queen City Forward is a social enterprise with the mission to increase the creation, scale, and impact of social ventures in the Charlotte, NC region.

Vision

We are guided by the conviction that Charlotte can create a thriving cluster of innovation for the region that enables social entrepreneurs to be better change-makers, engages the community in innovative idea generation that results in working models, and empowers communities to be the architects of their own development and growth.

Values

We do this by connecting social entrepreneurs to the resources and relationships they need to successfully grow and scale their business, stimulating prototypes for sustainable solutions for civic and community challenges, and building strategic networks that are responsive to the evolving needs of the community.
