Accelerating Community Investment Community of Practice Convening November 2024

The Accelerating Community Investment (ACI) initiative seeks to improve public finance by creating opportunities for public development, housing, and infrastructure finance agencies to engage with philanthropies, mission-aligned investors, and the broader capital markets. These partnerships help create new, community-led investments in underserved places and people.  

Through field research, technical assistance, and a national community of practice, ACI explores the intersection of public finance, impact capital, and community. The national community of practice (CoP) connects participants in local community investment ecosystems from 100 agencies and institutions in 18 states to each other and their peers. The group meets both virtually and in person to build partnerships, identify new investment opportunities, and share experiences and advice.  

The ACI Community of Practice Convening will be held on November 12–14 in Santa Rosa, California. Participants will have the opportunity to network, learn, and explore the Santa Rosa community. The agenda will include participant-led deal workshops, presentations from national impact investors, and a site tour that tracks the disaster recovery efforts in Sonoma County.  

This is an invitation only event.
