What role does narrative play in shaping economic life? How must the current narrative change if we are to have a viable human future and an economy that works for all, including Living Earth our home and source of nurture? What will it take to discover and establish a new narrative in the public mind? If this is an exploration you are interested in please join us!

This webinar will present and discuss the new report from the Democracy Collaborative, "A New Anchor Mission for a New Century: Community foundations deploying all resources to build community wealth."
The webinar will highlight the best practices and lessons learned by leading community foundations, and provide a framework for audience members who want to better use their community foundation's institutional and financial resources to build community wealth.
In the report, Marjorie Kelly and Violeta Duncan explore how community foundations across the country are embracing a new mission as key local anchors, catalyzing transformative community economic development and mission-focused investment.
Profiling 30 cutting-edge community foundations—the "Innovative 30"—the report offers an exciting snapshot of an emerging trend, one driven both by the need in communities across the country for new thinking about seemingly intractable economic problems, and by the need for community foundations to assert their uniquely place-based capacity to convene local stakeholders and align local resources in an era of growing competition for donor-advised funds from national foundations linked to commercial banks and investment houses.
12:00pm to 1:00pm Eastern Time
