We leverage our cross-sector network and convening power to advance innovative community economic development solutions that address the inequity of under-resourced communities in the District of Columbia.
We bring together practitioners, residents, elected officials and others to understand the challenges facing the field.
We brainstorm comprehensive strategies to address these challenges inclusive of research, policy change, community engagement, and programmatic initiatives.
We design and implement holistic, systems change solutions encompassing research, public policy, community engagement, capacity building, and high-impact initiatives.
