Dear Colleague,
As we approach the end of the year, all of us at The Democracy Collaborative would like to wish you a happy and safe holiday season. We offer this abbreviated www.Community-Wealth.org newsletter to share our thanks for your support during this past year of community wealth building.
We have published four major reports this year, including Pathways to Scale, written by coop expert and thought leader Hilary Abell and A New Anchor Mission for a New Century, a survey of cutting-edge community foundations by Marjorie Kelly and Violeta Duncan. We also produced a guide to state and local community wealth building policies and An Action Plan for Northwest Jacksonville (FL). Our national staff partnered with local leaders in New Orleans, Jackson, Mississippi, and other communities around the country to design wealth building strategies. Democracy Collaborative initiatives were featured in numerous local and national publications.
Already, 2015 promises to be a full year as we continue our work on the Learning/ Action Lab for Community Wealth Building and The Anchor Dashboard Learning Cohort, along with a myriad of other projects, including the Next System Project. Early in the coming year, look for a full re-launch of our web portal www.Community-Wealth.org.
If you would like to support this work, please consider making a donation of any amount to The Democracy Collaborative.
As always, we continue to add new links, articles, reports, and other materials to the site. Look for this symbol *NEW* to find the most recent additions.
Ted Howard
Executive Director, The Democracy Collaborative
