REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS for the Diamond District Inclusive Economic Resiliency Agenda! In partnership with Estolano Advisors, LISC San Diego co-developed the Diamond District Inclusive Economic Resiliency Agenda (Agenda) with Diamond District stakeholders and community members. This Agenda is a three-year strategic action plan that supports an integrated and place-based approach to ensuring economic justice and prosperity in the Diamond District. The strategies outlined in this Agenda seek to nurture the Diamond Districts existing assets, address on-going areas of need, connect Diamond District residents and small businesses to essential resources, and build the capacity of non-profit organizations and community members to determine their own destiny. Through this Request for Proposals, LISC San Diego is seeking proposals from community-based organizations/non-profits that are interested in working in partnership with LISC San Diego and other Diamond District stakeholders to implement this Agenda!
