This story has really captured the hearts & minds of people near & far. A beautifully simple story in so many respects, but also an embodiment of what community regeneration means: connection, revival, action & hope. https://lnkd.in/exnn6ubk

As a Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund), we are able to partner with banks to provide capital not only to for-profit businesses, but also to nonprofit agencies. This video from Pinnacle Financial Partners shows an example of the positive impacts these partnerships can have upon a community. #banking #communitybanking #cdfi #economicdevelopment

The ROI of this is hard to calculate, but If you're looking for a way to give back, to learn something new, or to meet new people? Then some time spent doing community service might be right for you. Volunteering your time and talent offers clear benefits to you as well as those you help. Not to mention, it's something that you should include in your college admission application. #collegeadmission #roi #communityservice

The $300m USD California Endowment Fund is interesting. Its core proposition is that “transforming California begins and ends with people power”. Central to which is the concept of organizing at community level with no silos - “funding campaigns helping end mass incarceration; welcome, protect, and promote our immigrant and refugee relatives; helping us create housing and health for all people; care for our common home and disrupt the climate emergency affecting all of us.” The fund enables philanthropy to follow “the lead of community organizers in developing intergenerational leadership, raising the voices of those closest to systemic problems, and promoting civic engagement and activism.” I wonder about the impact this can have on ethical investing too. Do you have experience of community endowments like this and/or what are your thoughts? #nfp #communityorganizing
