Researched and published with the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, this report from Mass Economics and RW Ventures offers insight on innovative and potentially more effective opportunities for corporate engagement in community and economic development. Corporations can learn of new possibilities for mobilizing their expertise, resources, activities, and investments to enhance their business success while also achieving community benefits. Communities can gain understanding of how to identify and design development opportunities best suited for corporate engagement, while philanthropy can better define its role in catalyzing and scaling more effective corporate-community collaboration.
The practice of business-aligned community and economic development (CED) was further explored in a 2024 convening of 70 business leaders. For a summary of proceedings, please visit: National Corporate Convening: Business Opportunities in Community and Economic Development.
