Hi Friend,

At NCRC, our north star remains both clear and elusive: make a Just Economy a national priority and a local reality.

We do this through a unique and powerful mix of research, investigations, investments, media, grant-making, capacity-building, training, advocacy, litigation, convening and facilitation to expand equitable and inclusive access to credit, capital, jobs, housing, health, financial security and personal well-being.

Our 2022 impact was dramatic and meaningful. We facilitated negotiations for community benefits agreements with seven banks that committed $205 billion to low- and moderate-income communities across the nation. We directly distributed $4.7 million in grants for local capacity building. We built or rehabbed 138 homes. We won a federal court case that will protect housing market data. Our advocacy prompted federal policymakers to draft a new rule to strengthen the Community Reinvestment Act. Our expertise and innovation shaped prominent coverage in the New York Times, the BBC, NPR, Bloomberg and Fast Company – and thousands of citations across all media.

You’ll find much more in our new impact report.

The glaring gaps in how our economy works – and fails – were both frustrating and motivating.We’ve got more to do and we can’t do it alone. Thanks for your continued interest and support!

Jesse Van Tol

President & CEO
