City First’s 4th Annual Community Development Finance Conference: Shared Values | Integrated Solutions For a More Inclusive Economy, will convene key community development stakeholders who have a common vision for shared prosperity for all; and who have built proven integrated solutions to solve some of DC’s chronic problems. This year’s Conference will focus on the interdependence of critical intellectual and financial capital from multiple sectors (public, private, philanthropic) that support nonprofits, small businesses and social innovators who serve the community. We will examine challenges band opportunities across the social indicators of need –housing, education, health, employment, small business investment and access to the arts. We will hear about successful integrated models and explore new ways of thinking to optimize capital aggregation and deployment to serve as transformative capital for increasing personal and community wealth.
