National Institute of Minority Economic Development

The National Institute of Minority Economic Development (the Institute) announces a third nonprofit entity under our umbrella of work to support diverse populations: Institute Community Development Initiative (ICDI). Read full press release and learn more: https://lnkd.in/ecJGiMmS Originally founded in 1986, the Institute leverages nearly 40 years of experience serving diverse communities through our steadfast mission: to strengthen the asset base of diverse populations through policy, education, and economic opportunities. In 2020, the North Carolina Institute of Minority Economic Development merged with the North Carolina Community Development Initiative and its respected affiliated CDFI, Initiative Capital, to form the National Institute of Minority Economic Development. Rebranded as Institute Capital (ICAP), the affiliate CDFI added a critical component to the Institute’s economic justice work. However, the Institute recognized that our suite of offerings was not complete without a dedicated entity to support and promote community economic development. With seed funding from the North Carolina General Assembly, ICDI was incorporated in 2023 and received its 501 (c) (3) status in 2024. With this third affiliate, the Institute leverages a combined sixty years of competency and trust for diverse businesses and neighborhoods – particularly filling a gap in the critical funding needed to provide affordable attainable housing throughout our footprint. #CommunityDevelopment #CDC #EconomicDevelopment #NIMED Kevin J.
