Economic developers are instrumental in the distribution of wealth.

@IEDCtweets's "Playbook for Equitable Economic Development" aims to help them identify systemic racism & best practices to increase equitable outcomes & opportunities for people of color.

[The Rockefeller Foundation @RockefellerFdn]

Economic developers have the power to either reinforce existing systemic inequities or drive structural change for good.

In a new blog, our own @OtisRolley & @natlorac discuss how RF is supporting @IEDCtweets to develop a blueprint for equitable practice. https://t.co/Yi7r0RS3Cb

#Philanthropy and #ImpactInvesting can play a huge role in making ISAs work for more people, and the space needs to work to ensure the students have everything they need to be successful for the #ISA model to be sustainable, says @KevinJamesEd of @BetterFutureFwd #JFFHorizons

[Jobs for the Future (JFF) @jfftweets]

ISAs, when well-designed structurally, can help students whether through financially unstable scenarios like the pandemic and the recession. Though it's very important that the monthly payment is affordable, says @natlorac of @NYCEDC. #JFFHorizons #ISA #Education #Finance
