Fundraising | Strategic Philanthropy | Community Investing Melarbit’s community investing activities connect/convene
funders, investors, community/thought leaders to local issues and community investing opportunities. The ultimate goal
is to build a community of informed, like-minded leaders and supporters.
Traditionally defined, community investing
puts money at risk or on deposit with the expectation of repayment with a financial return, for the purpose of helping low/moderate and
under-served people and places. Some of the more common activities that community investors fund are: job creation; business
start-up and growth; safe and affordable housing; community facilities; charter schools; community wealth creation. Click here for more information about Options and Innovations in Community Investing.
Melarbit builds upon this tradition
to expand civic participation, stimulate funding/investing to build strong, healthy and vital local communities.
