September 15–16

Our events bring together streams that typically don’t flow together:

People already working to create thriving, inclusive neighborhoods, local leaders working on community economic development, impact investors who understand the cost of doing good, catalytic foundations and other mission-focused funders, people investing to support local businesses, minority entrepreneurs whose work needs catalytic capital, and people of faith who want to build a more just economy.
The prevailing moral hunger of our day is the desire to repair historic and economic systemic inequities. There are new financial innovations emerging that value justice. Neighborhood Economics is working to connect and catalyze that movement.
