Forward Impact was launched to help deploy capital more effectively in cities and regions to address systemic economic inequities.  Too often, public and private investment focused on place-based change is siloed, limited in its scope, and under-leveraged.   Forward Impact is achieved when capital is focused on a systemic, integrated approach that focuses on rigorous and measurable multi-generational outcomes.  By fostering opportunities for connection and collaboration, Forward Impact creates new opportunities for private investors and public capital to work together to sustain this systems-change work.

Forward Impact is where every dollar spent on addressing systemic inequities advances immediate & long-term social and economic returns
