An inclusive economy that works for all.

Our Work

Center for Community Wealth Building’s work is driven by our commitment to economic justice, inclusivity, inspiration, and transformation. We work to inspire a fundamental shift within individuals, communities, institutions, and systems to support a thriving local economy and a healthy and sustainable way of life. ​

Our Challenge

Picture
​​In Metro Denver, communities are now facing limited access to living-wage jobs, adequate and affordable transit, safe and affordable housing, parks and open space, healthy food options, and quality education.

​The insufficient conditions and lack of intentional efforts to ensure that all communities prosper, has created an environment that excludes communities of color from opportunities to fully thrive. Community wealth building is an essential strategy towards closing the wealth gap.
