Thank you Bridgespan for sharing the story of Build Wealth MN and why providing "enterprise capital" is so essential to build financial strength and help close the racial wealth divide in the nonprofit sector.

You will be inspired as much as I am by these courageous homeowners!
Low-income homeowners are being ripped off by predatory Wall Street private equity firms. The firms buy up mobile home parks, jack up rents and fees, and institute arbitrary rules. Here’s how residents at one Colorado community came together to buy back their own land.

Thank you Sheelah Kolhatkar for capturing the financial realities facing too many owners of manufactured housing and why resident ownership is the answer to build financial security and community engagement.
.@sheelahk & @NewYorker, you should see what homeowners can do when given the chance to purchase their community! ROC USA & our affiliates support #cooperative ownership and transform homeowners’ lives with stable rent, neighborhood improvements and resident empowerment.

In many states, residents of mobile-home parks are excluded from the basic legal protections that cover tenants in rented houses or apartments. “The vulnerability of these residents is part of the business model,” a sociologist and housing expert said. nyer.cm/Pt6LCtJ

A lot I agree with in this brilliant piece by @alevere and Dan Nissenbaum, but love this especially. "Focus on ways to strengthen financial performance of a nonprofit. Funding should support the development of business and financial expertise within a nonprofit..."
I am thrilled to share this article, co-authored with Dan Nissenbaum, that outlines how we can build capital markets for nonprofits that can respond to this moment. Investors Trust the Companies They Support. Here's How Grant Makers Can Do the Same. philanthropy.com/article/inv…

Our country will be the better for this nomination. Congratulations!
I am so humbled to be nominated by President-elect Biden to serve as Deputy Commerce Secretary. I’ve worked alongside @JoeBiden for a long time, and he believes to his core that we must do so much better for working families. That, we can deliver. Ready to get to work.

This is the moment to rebuild the capital markets that serve nonprofits in ways that build financial strength and resilience and address the profound inequities in our economy. I am grateful to ICF and all the contributors who helped to create the Blueprint.

The financial system struggles to see many #smallbiz as assets, especially those owned by entrepreneurs of color, women, and those in lower income neighborhoods. The EBA Fund is here to serve them. I am so proud to serve as Vice Chair! aspeninstitute.org/news/pres… #EBAFund #CDFIs
