I believe that something truly special is happening in North St. Louis County. The progress that is taking place here is not just because of our own organization’s work—it’s the result of many organizations coming together to form a critical mass. Please read my latest article in St. Louis Magazine on some of the organizations helping to move the needle for our region and why building on this momentum is critical for our region's future.https://lnkd.in/gMF_EKJZ

This year has brought several amazing milestones, and we’re excited to invite you to support the momentum with a personal contribution to Community Vision.So far, here are just a few of the things we’re celebrating:👉 Community Vision providing $32M of financing for community-driven projects (and we’re on track to invest more capital into Northern and Central California communities than we have in any other year). 👉 Closing our largest loan to date, $6.1M to The Unity Council for the renovation of an underutilized building in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood into a multi-tenant business and nonprofit hub.👉 The wins of many of our clients and borrowers, including CounterPulse’s recent purchase of their building after a decade-long creative financing partnership with the Community Arts Stabilization Trust (CAST), a real estate entity co-founded by Community Vision. Community Vision partnered with CounterPulse and CAST throughout this journey to ownership by providing consulting and financing support.All of this is made possible through #partnership, especially with our team of individual donors who help to ensure Community Vision is able to provide responsive, wrap-around services in addition to our lending. Would you help us keep the momentum going? Let’s continue advancing #CommunityOwnership of community assets: https://buff.ly/3JzNAvz

One of my core principles is giving back, and one way I try to actualize this principle is through civic engagement and advocacy.I recently traveled to Washington, DC to meet with elected officials. As Americans, it’s easy for us to take democracy for granted, but I feel that this type of advocacy is both a great privilege and a solemn duty.I encourage you, as an entrepreneur who envisions a better future, to devote some time and energy to a cause that you believe in.Even if you can’t travel long distances, consider donating a few hours of services to a worthy nonprofit. This could make a world of difference to them, and, especially if you’re just starting out, it could also provide you with critical delivery practice and generate references that you can use in your sales process.So give something of yourself without expectations. You’ll see that the benefits are multifaceted.https://lnkd.in/geZ5it_c#CivicResponsibility #Volunteer #Advocacy #Business

As we look for more ways to share our building with the community, I find these sorts of articles fascinating. I just ordered a 2002 book by Ram Cnaan about the role of churches in social services (I'll link it in the comments). In 2009, he did a study that added a monetary value to what urban churches offer in social services and estimated that it was the equivalent of around $475,000 per year. Every time we lose a church community, we lose these services and the community has to pick them up in some way or, more likely, go without. These services are about a place the church shares as well as the volunteer work and financial support of church's members and friends. It would be interesting to see if there is much of a connection between church closures and increases in community service needs. On the church building end, sorting out the difference between making sure these old buildings of ours help facilitate our organizational mission of service (as well as worship, education, and artistic/spiritual expression) versus our organizational mission becoming serving the building is a challenge for any organization with significant, physical infrastructure. Anyone who works for schools, government, medical organizations, etc. can relate. What makes it challenging is that we also have a system of belief that, for us, undergirds our mission. This can put up barriers to partnership with entities that have to be careful about supporting any one belief structure. The question for us becomes, how can we build partnerships around shared values without significantly impinging on our undergirding religious integrity while, at the same time, respecting a non-church organization's commitment to not participate in the promotion of any one set of religious beliefs? There is a gap between these two realities in which those who need services too frequently fall through. How can we best work together with values and work we share in common?
