We are proud to partner with the Lucas County Department of Economic Development in launching Economic Development That Benefits Everyone &ndash; A Collective Impact Poverty Reduction Initiative. This effort underscores the crucial link between economic development and poverty reduction&mdash;both of which are essential for sustainable community growth. The initiative is grounded in the Urban Institute&rsquo;s Upward Mobility Framework, the Tamarack Institute&rsquo;s model for community engagement, and the principles of Getting Ahead and&nbsp;Bridges Out of Poverty, ensuring that people from all economic backgrounds have a voice at the decision-making table. Thanks to the generous support of the Lucas County Department of Economic Development, which has underwritten the majority of event costs, we are preparing to host a kickoff event on Wednesday, October 8, 2025. The location will be near downtown Toledo. Additional funds are needed to fully support this important day, which will feature Mary Cacioppi, author of Economic Development That Benefits Everyone: Poverty Reduction is a Key Strategy, leading a facilitated discussion with community leaders, advocates, and residents.&nbsp; Your contribution will help us make this event as impactful and inclusive as possible.
