Housing insecurity: a major concern for communities across the country and leads to immense family instability. Vast numbers of vacant homes and businesses deteriorate the fabric of a community by increased crime rates, higher costs to the tenants given no other opportunity for residence, and making it difficult for businesses to be successful. False narratives related to the housing insecure abound that limit many organizations ability to provide services. Therefore, we work to identify and support emerging interventions that help more communities and people thrive. From redevelopment of vacant properties to technology solutions that increase financial mobility, we work to see more people in more places have the resources to not only survive, but truly thrive. We also work to change the narrative of homelessness that hopefully leads to empathy and action.

Access to the economy: traditional banking and financial services exclude millions of individuals and small businesses. Inclusion in these financial systems leads to greater individual, family, and community stability. Therefore, we invest in companies and programs that improve access to equitable capital, financial services, and the distributions of funds beyond traditional means for both personal and business financing to counter the effects of payday lending and improve opportunities for the unbanked and underbanked. Entrepreneurship is key to american dynamism and community flourishing and yet, access to capital remains elusive for many. Therefore, we work to create alternative and geographically specific structures to build regional ecosystems.
Expenses: $826K
Creative economy: we believe that people have the right to realize their full potential. An economy that encourages creativity accelerates growth and long-term community vitality by encouraging people to be their authentic selves. The creative economy surfaces and redeems the beliefs we identify with, and that we value, and exposes that which is possible. We work intentionally to create programs that support creators and their creative development as they mature in their craft.
Expenses: $617K
Leadership development: we believe people are at the heart of any transformative change in a community, company and culture. Therefore, we work to build leaders of the future by identifying and supporting change leaders through, including without limit, the development of curriculum and educational experiences that encourage business for the common good and inspire leaders to impact their communities around them and to have the skills and confidence to expand their impact.
