Our Work
Shaping an Abundant Future
Community drives every aspect of our work. We work closely with communities of color to understand the racist barriers to economic opportunity, to shape investments into our communities, and demand accountability from the public and private sectors. We work in partnership with community-based organizations to produce long-term change and success.
