Community Centered Economic Inclusive Development 

By investing in the owners, employees, businesses, and organizations in historically disadvantaged communities, we amplify the strength and success of the whole area. Our goal: create equitable systems connected to the regional economy where everyone can access quality jobs, affordable capital, and the tools and know-how to achieve their goals.

Fueling equitable progress requires community ownership and local leadership. Because of our local relationships in thousands of communities, LISC is able to stand side-by-side with residents, business owners, and local leaders to identify goals, design projects, and deliver results like workforce upskilling, strong support networks for entrepreneurs, and vibrant commercial and industrial districts.
