In a world as bizarre as ours has become, we sometimes have a difficulty finding reasons for hope. That’s why I’m glad that we have a Neighborhood Economics event kicking
Neighborhood Economics convenes networks and catalyzes ideas for repairing local economies
Our SEPTEMBER GATHERING brings together innovative leaders finding new ways to invest in local businesses, build climate resilience, support new entrepreneurs, and nurture the creative economy.
Join us in Galveston for our next event!
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.

You might be surprised by how familiar you'll find the economic concerns facing the coastal community of Galveston. Leaders from this mid-sized Texas city have attended Neighborhood Economics events in the past, and they've been busy using what they learned with us to build an economy that works better for everyone.
Join us in this beautiful, historic setting just an hour's drive from Houston for timely conversations, proven strategies, and new relationships. You might even want to stay an extra day or two. You'll return better equipped to contribute to economic justice initiatives wherever you call home.
