The Economic Development unit seeks to make durable economic improvements in the lives of the disadvantaged.
The unit focuses on two fields:
In development finance and economic security we support organizations that help create employment opportunities and help people acquire, develop and maintain savings, investments, businesses, homes, land and other assets.
In workforce development we support organizations and practices that help low-income people develop marketable job skills and acquire and retain reliable employment that provides livable wages.
The Economic Development unit administers program-related investments (PRI's) for all the Foundation's programs.
