Community Development Ecosystem
Metro Atlanta’s community development ecosystem – the funders, community development corporations, government agencies, non-profits, residents, and small businesses involved in community development – continues to work tirelessly to close the racial wealth gap.
LISC ATL will strengthen the community development ecosystem to accelerate the strategies required to close the racial wealth gap. We will scale proven solutions, seed new ideas, and build the capacity of our partner organizations. We seek to participate in the good work already being done in this space, while also working to convene disparate partners and initiatives, bringing ever more cohesion and collaboration into this space.
