Strengthening Leaders
Capacity Building
We equip local leaders, nonprofits, and community organizations with the tools and strategies to effect change from within, building the skills and confidence needed to address challenges directly. Through training, technical support, and tailored resources, we strengthen their capacity to lead, collaborate, and innovate. By empowering those closest to the community, we ensure that solutions are rooted in local knowledge, reflect shared priorities, and create lasting impact that extends well beyond a single project.
Revitalization
Main Street Development
We help create and support Main Street organizations that drive small business growth and downtown revitalization, breathing new life into the heart of our communities. By fostering thriving local economies, encouraging entrepreneurship, and enhancing public spaces, we make Main Streets vibrant hubs where people want to shop, gather, and connect. Our work ensures that these corridors are not only economic engines but also cultural and social anchors that reflect the character and pride of the community.
Driving Impact
Supporting CDCs & BIDs
We collaborate with Community Development Corporations (CDCs) and Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) to launch impactful projects that strengthen neighborhoods and expand opportunity. By bringing together residents, businesses, and civic leaders, we help turn local visions into reality — from new public spaces and cultural amenities to housing, retail, and workforce initiatives. Our partnerships ensure that these projects not only attract investment but also deliver meaningful benefits to the people who live and work in the community.
Local Action
Municipal Partnerships
We partner with municipalities to integrate place-based strategies into local planning and economic development, ensuring that growth reflects the needs and aspirations of the people it serves. By aligning community voices with municipal priorities, we help create policies and projects that foster inclusive, sustainable progress. From revitalizing business corridors to shaping long-term development plans, our work supports local governments in building stronger, more connected communities where residents, businesses, and neighborhoods can thrive together.
