Citadel founder Ken Griffin suggests that Miami could potentially surpass New York as the world’s financial center. Griffin, who recently moved to Miami, envisions significant growth in the city’s financial influence, comparing the potential transformation to a future “Brickell Bay North” akin to New York in finance. Despite the influx of Wall Street figures to South Florida attracted by favorable conditions, Griffin plans to make an even greater impact by developing a waterfront tower exceeding $1 billion, serving as Citadel’s headquarters and contributing to various philanthropic endeavors, including a children’s hospital and soccer initiatives. #circlegroup #realestate #listings #miami#imoveismiami #morarmmmiami #luxury #miamibeach #apartamentosmiami #wynwood#brickell #balharbour #sunnyIslesBeach #goldenbeach #luxuryliving #miamiviews #buyproperties

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is stepping up for Baltimore with an $8.45 million philanthropic commitment aimed at transforming the city's economic and community development.

It’s a crucial part of the firm’s $20 million, five-year plan to uplift underserved communities across Baltimore. Private sector investments like this are vital for fostering inclusive economic growth and shared prosperity. These investments can effectively address systemic issues and barriers of access to capital. Moreover, they help build a resilient economic foundation that benefits everyone.

Another WIN! I am so proud of the team at Women Helping Women of SW Ohio for launching a HALF A MILLION DOLLAR Survivor Equity Fund!   What does this mean? Bottom-line: We believe survivors. We invest in survivors. Our organization has noticed an increasing disparity in the economic resources of the 8,300 survivors we serve. It is a perfect storm of increased numbers of survivors; survivors navigating constant rising #inflation costs; extreme housing insecurity; and highly compromised #economic resources of survivors. We are flipping the script as a non-profit and we are now #activating as an equitable funder. There are a lot of #foundations in the region. There are a lot of #venture capitalist start ups in Cincinnati. And so we thought—why not us? We can raise capital. And we can streamline investment capital to where it matters most: humans who are in danger.   Women Helping Women of SW Ohio's $500,000 Survivor Equity Fund is allocating $100,000+ annually into the region to support survivors with immediate financial support for safety. And because we believe that values must be in budgets—we are annually allocating $100,000 of our investment income back into the Survivor Equity Fund to maintain the balance of the Fund to, at least, $500,000. But Let’s Be Clear. We’re Only Getting Started. In the next 24 months, the #Vision is to grow the Survivor Equity Fund to $1.5M and to invest, at minimum, $300,000 annually to support survivors' complex needs.   Urgency has been at our region's door for a long time. And we have to do what we can to drive forward #innovation and #growth mindsets to serve our region. Survivors already bear the inequitable burden of the #economic #cost of gender-based violence. We must disrupt the data & the reality. A female survivor experiences a lifetime personal cost of nearly $105,000. Now put on top of that the VAST majority of survivors that we serve live below the 200% federal poverty level. Now put on top of that, 60% of survivors report losing their #job. No human should experience gender-based violence. And no human should have to pay for that violence committed against them. That is not #equitable. Thank you for all who support our vision and believe in vitality. It’s time to invest in Survivor Equity. #equity #inclusion #invest #fund #innovation #growthmindset #venturecapital #empowerment #leadership #transformation #pivot #startups #womenleaders

We all believe that SE Michigan will be a better place to live when nonprofits meet their missions. When all people have housing, when cancers are cured, when people stop contributing to climate change etc. Yet, despite decades of incremental progress, the need is still there. Nonprofits and the issues they exist to buffer or erase persist. This is partially due to isolation and segregation within our communities. Even when there's overlap in our missions and visions, nonprofits often tackle their work alone. To transform our future, we need to work together across organizations, sectors, communities, and identities. And to collaborate across difference, we need to build relationships based on trust and accountability. The renovated NEW Center will create space for authentic, organic connection and collaboration between mission-driven people across our ecosystem. It will become a place where changemakers come together and no one is pushed to the margins. With space to bring everyone impacted to the table, we'll finally be able to make real progress towards a just and thriving society.

As we celebrate 5 years of business, we are excited to look back over the projects we've completed, the relationships we've built, and the impact we've made - together. Our first project goes all the way back to the end of 2018 with the start of the Community Driven Growth: A Roadmap for Dallas' Equitable Development Project. This $400,000 PRO Neighborhoods Grant (Partnerships for Raising Opportunity in Neighborhoods) project through JPMorgan Chase & Co. Foundation, in partnership with the MUSE FAMILY FOUNDATION, was awarded to The Real Estate Council (TREC) (now TREC Community Investors) who enlisted C-Suite Consulting (now C-Suite Equity Consulting, LLC), bcWORKSHOP, the Institute for Urban Policy Research, and Loveland Technologies (now Regrid) as subject matter experts. What made this project unique, and honestly where the core of the success was catalyzed, was in the partnerships with community organizations, including: The Golden SEEDS Foundation CDC, CitySquare (now The Forest Theater), St. Philip's School and Community Center, Builders of Hope Community Development Corporation, and Cornerstone Baptist Church. C-Suite Equity Consulting served as project manager overseeing timely project completion and contributing to community engagement and report writing for the development of an equitable development plan for three neighborhoods facing rapid transition (i.e. gentrification and displacement) in Dallas, including the Bottom, the Forest District, and West Dallas Census Tract 205. The final plan, and more details on the overall impact, and a landmark grant award that brought the plan to life from 2019-2023 can be viewed on our blog at https://lnkd.in/geEX-GZ5. We hope you enjoyed this first trip down memory lane and will continue with us on the journey of celebrating 5 years of impact! #displacement #gentrification #equitabledevelopment #communitydevelopment #powerofpartnership #collaboration #gofartogether #dallas #planning #strategy #research #engagement #data #impact #innovation #service #consulting #memorylane #5YrsofImpact #Anniversary #CSEC #WhereInnovationMeetsImpact #SocialImpact #EconomicMobility #EnvironmentalWellness #SocialEconomicEnvironmentalHealthandWellness #CSuiteEquityConsulting

Thank you The San Diego Union-Tribune for publishing this opinion piece on affordable housing by San Diego Habitat for Humanity President & CEO Kwofi Reed and Mission Driven Finance® Chief Investment Officer Louie Nguyen, CFA—just in time for Habitat's home dedication for the new homeowners of the El Norte Parkway development, supported in part by our Homebuilding Investment Fund. "Why is affordable and attainable housing important for everyone? When middle- and lower-income workers like hospitality workers, nurses, firefighters, artists, musicians, and younger professionals don’t have to leave city centers to own homes, our communities are safer and more vibrant, not to mention employers have easier and better access to talent. "Affordable housing and homeownership can lead to better education and health outcomes — including mental health — and even improve civic engagement and reduce public spending on health care and social services. The National Low Income Housing Coalition states, 'increasing access to affordable housing bolsters economic growth.' "Building affordable housing can’t happen without major support from capital partners, however. By leveraging philanthropic investments and innovative financing solutions — like the GoATL Affordable Housing Fund in Atlanta (Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta) or LA4LA in Los Angeles (California Community Foundation) — we can break down barriers to homeownership and create pathways to economic empowerment. "In this spirit, nonprofit San Diego Habitat for Humanity and private impact asset management firm Mission Driven Finance® announced the launch of a second Homebuilding Investment Fund. This initiative, bolstered by philanthropic investments and a loan guarantee from the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank California), is designed to accelerate the construction of affordable homes in our region over the next five years — with homeownership in mind." 👉 https://lnkd.in/gF7PNXUp #affordablehousing #housing #impactinvesting #communityfinance #investinhousing
