Journal Record: Margaret Creighton Named to Power List of Nonprofit Leaders

Margaret Creighton leads Positive Tomorrows a nonprofit organization founded in 1989 to support families experiencing homelessness.

Using a two-generation approach, Positive Tomorrows provides education for children from birth through seventh grade while helping their parents achieve housing, employment, and stability.

“The best part of my job is the joy I get to experience with our kiddos and families—first birthdays, reading a book for the first time, solving a tough math problem or moving into their own apartment,” Creighton said. “It’s an honor to be their cheerleader.”

While celebrating successes, Creighton acknowledges the challenges, especially the difficulty of turning families away due to capacity limits.

In 2025, her top priority is securing a strong financial foundation to expand services and reach more families in need.

Creighton values collaboration, crediting partnerships with other nonprofit leaders for helping meet families’ needs.
