OUR MISSION Statement
UNIFYING COMMUNITIES, ONE FAMILY AT A TIME.
We at The F.I.A.T.M. GROUP INC would like to share our vision with you and welcome you into our mission. The Family Is All That Matters Group Inc., referred to as The F.I.A.T.M. GROUP INC, is a Non-Profit Organization created to serve At-Risk-Youth, Teen Mothers, and Families in learning to make positive choices to ensure a better quality of life.
We believe that the well-being of children and families is wholly impacted by the environment and community that they live in. Their community should be supportive and provide robust, stable, and inclusive opportunities.
Through our work at F.I.A.T.M., we work with our community to help them better understand the factors of community impact and how it improves child and family well-being—and then put that knowledge into action.
We partner with neighborhoods and community stakeholders to challenge and transform systemic influences, policies, and practices that negatively impact communities. Our activities help residents and their public/private area partners make their communities as robust, equitable, and inclusive as possible to become places where children and families can flourish. As our teamwork continues, we increase the capacity of stakeholders to attain better results for children and families. Through these efforts, we see improvements in how communities align their resources and, ultimately, better outcomes for children and families.

Testimonials
Max Bryant - Working with FIATM mentoring has done so much for me and I don't know where I would be without them. Now I have a 3.83 GPA (one B in Math, we're still working on that one). I'm not nearly as confused as I was before. I'm well on my way to being the first person in my family to graduate from college.
Coach Moss - Mentoring allowed me the opportunity to share my experience with a young individual and revisit some of the issues of growing up. I am truly appreciative of the support given to me by FIATM and hope to pay it forward.
Carpenters Union (Collaborative Partner) - The mentoring to success program is an excellent way to connect students with people working in the real world. Mentoring gives us flexibility to offer our skills to an interested youth. It's good for the mentees, too, as they get to ask anything they can put into words and expect a prompt response. Most of our interaction was focused on how my mentee was doing in school and his career plans. I only wish I could have had this opportunity when I was a student.

Deep Rooted Unlimited
It's time to treat your bodies right! As a nutritional based company, Deep Rooted has become the official Nutritional Partner of FIATM. Being able to provide a positive nutrition base for youth is a difference maker.
Many products in the markets we are entering as Deep Rooted Unlimited are saturated with fillers and preservatives. The current demand for more natural-based products, whether it be skincare or sports nutrition products, is on the rise. Modern trends show that consumers are more conscience of what they are putting in and on their bodies, relating to the rising demand for such products.
