Dear Colleague,
Welcome to our September www.Community-Wealth.org newsletter. This month’s new developments include:
-
We are pleased to announce the release of The Democracy Collaborative’s Anchor Dashboard. This paper, and a companion research report, are based on extensive Democracy Collaborative research (including 75 interviews of anchor institution and community leaders). Our goal is to help institutions reflect and assess broadly the long-term impact of their anchor-mission activities, and particularly the extent to which they may benefit low-income children, families and communities. Highlighted today by The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Anchor Dashboard identifies twelve priority areas and corresponding indicators that anchor institutions can use to assess current local conditions and evaluate institutional progress in aligning their activities with the needs of the community. Read more on this below.
-
Our friends at the Capital Institute released video highlights from a symposium entitled “Beyond Sustainability: The Road to Regenerative Capitalism†where I had the opportunity to speak about community wealth building and how anchor institution partnerships can promote job creation and build community wealth.
As always, we have added 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
