Does Your Community Want Its Own Home-Grown Investment Fund?

If so, The MSJ is pleased to announce a new webinar series on best practices in community investing with a team of seasoned organizers.

Starting February 21, from 2-3 pm ET, Kevin Jones of Neighborhood Economics and I will host a twice-monthly interview series with community investment fund leaders from around the country. They will help decode the DNA of different designs, enabling you and your community to replicate them. Click here to tune in for each episode—no registration is necessary.

Our first interview features Derek Peebles, one of the leaders of an effort to create a Diversified Community Investment Fund in Cincinnati. Learn more about the series here.

Running the show is Joel Skene, whose Mindful Marketplace is already introducing local investment concepts to thousands of listeners. Co-sponsors include us, Neighborhood Economics, and ImpactAlpha. Data from each show will ultimately feed a public wiki to help you build support for your own community’s fund.


The Main Street Journal is a publication covering the local investment movement. They help identify and share local and regional efforts with those who want to move their hard-earned savings from Wall Street to Main Street into their own communities.
