Silicon Valley Community Foundation reposted this
We’re excited to share some great news: Silicon Valley Community Foundation recently invested $1M into Community Vision’s loan fund! This capital is critical in allowing us to continue empowering underinvested and disinvested communities through strategic financing. We are committed to advancing community ownership of community assets as a means towards building justice, power, and equity in California. Partnerships with organizations like SVCF are vital in ensuring we have the resources to continue this work! "Silicon Valley Community Foundation is proud to provide this loan that will support Community Vision’s work to empower marginalized communities and enterprises to build wealth and ownership. By investing in this effort, we hope to foster a future that lifts up those who have been historically excluded from opportunities.” — Moses Zapien, SVCF's Executive Vice President of Community Action, Initiatives and Policy Thank you SVCF for investing in community ownership and empowerment! #CommunityVision #CommunityOwnership #CommunityEmpowerment
Hat tip to my colleagues Liz Carey and Jie (Lyria) Zhang, CFA and our friends at OCCAM - Patrick Maloney, Theresa Deibele, Sayer Jones - for making this happen. So proud of the work we are doing to deepen our impact in the region. Onward!
