Funding Creative Solutions for a
Thriving Society
About Us
3PC — People Pursuing Positive Consciousness — is a charitable organization dedicated to funding creative projects that address mental health, economic development, and safe housing solutions.
We exist to bridge the growing gap between human needs and the systems meant to support them. In a modern society with unprecedented resources, too many people still lack access to the foundational conditions required to thrive. Mental health support is fragmented, economic opportunity is uneven, and safe housing remains out of reach for millions.
ORIGIN STORY
3PC was born from more than two decades of lived experience, service, and creative problem-solving at the intersection of human need and systemic failure.
In 2005, founder Timothy Samson became a Big Brother to Josh, an eight-year-old growing up in public housing. What began as a mentorship relationship became a life-shaping awakening. Witnessing the structural barriers facing Josh and his family — barriers rooted not in lack of potential, but in lack of access — inspired a lifelong commitment to building pathways that make thriving possible for people too often left behind.
Over the next ten years, Timothy dedicated his work to addressing root causes rather than symptoms. He played a role in efforts that helped North Carolina become the first state in the nation to legalize industrial hemp, contributed to the development of mission-driven nonprofit initiatives, and partnered on projects supporting homeless veterans through skill-building, regenerative farming, and safe housing solutions. Across each chapter, one truth became clear: when people are given stability, is a prerequisite for sustained mental health and economic progress.
