This series builds on the presentation given by the Unitarian Universalist Community last August in which over 150 registered. The event was an opportunity to build on the work of many respected organizations to continue educating and activating faith-based organizations, foundations, and individuals about community investing, CDFIs, community land trusts, and other main street lending options to fight racism and oppression.

The first convening of the series, “Introduction to Faith-Based Community Investing,” features dynamic speakers, clergy, and congregations to introduce the faith-based community investing movement, including case studies from different faith communities. In addition, we provide an overview of the opportunities and how to take advantage of them based on the unique perspectives and values of the attendees.

We are organizing this series under the theme of Beloved Community – which happens when people of diverse faith, racial, ethnic, educational, class, gender, abilities, and sexual orientations come together in an interdependent relationship of love, mutual respect, and care that seeks to realize justice within the community and in the broader world.
