#Community foundations can play multiple roles, such as funder, convener, champion, or partner, to promote upward mobility in their communities.

Local businesses are more than storefronts and services; they are the heartbeat of our neighborhoods and the gears in our economy's engine. In today's video, I explore the vital role they play beyond the obvious - the fiscal contributions that support public services, the jobs that sustain families, and the community spirit they embody. At The Atticus Group, our mission is to ensure these pillars of the community continue to stand strong through business transitions, keeping the lights on and the local economy robust. Watch to discover how we're safeguarding the future of local businesses and, by extension, the well-being of our towns and cities. #LocalBusiness #CommunityImpact #EconomicSustainability #TheAtticusGroup #TAGMarc

What is one of the most important things we've learned over the years at ELDI about revitalizing a neighborhood? The first — and most crucial — part is listening to the community and letting them guide the way. In the late 90s, ELDI hosted hundreds of meetings with community members to start forming a plan for the neighborhood. The result of those meetings was East Liberty's first community plan, A Vision for East Liberty. That plan was later updated in 2010, and more than 25 years later, it still serves as a living, breathing document that guides neighborhood planning. ➡ Learn more about how we keep that plan up to date and present in the minds of community leaders in our impact report: https://lnkd.in/ga-xaX2N #communitydevelopment #cdc #pittsburgh
