Philanthropy's Role in Downtown Transformation

In a city of 100,000, challenged by persistent high poverty, a coalition of private sector and nonprofit leadership revitalized a downtown area by investing $110 million, creating 142 market rate apartments, eliminating a food desert, and strengthening adjacent neighborhoods. This interactive case-study session will highlight community leadership strategy, coalition building, impact investing, and neighborhood development strategy.
