About Us

We are the Martin-Pitt Partnership for Children, a non-profit in eastern North Carolina whose mission is to make meaningful and measurable investments in young children to enable them to achieve their fullest potential. Founded in 1998 as one of 76 Smart Start partnerships in the state, the Martin-Pitt Partnership for Children is proud to collaborate with families, child care providers, early childhood educators and their students, local community organizations and nonprofits to achieve our vision of a bright future for every child in our community.


Each year, the Partnership invests over $2.6 million into children birth through five in Martin and Pitt Counties by funding programs in quality early child care and learning, assistance finding child care services, parent and family support, health care, child care provider training, and early literacy.
