Overview

In 2018, we started our discovery phase by listening to the specific needs of community residents over 70 cities.  The study further zoomed into a number of systemic issues holding communities back from upward economic mobility. We documented our Bolster Economic Mobility (B.E.M.) Initiative in the list of six-interconnected initiatives that came out of discovery, and began to identify and lay the groundwork for programs that could advance our vision: “A World Free of Poverty.”   Over the launching year of 2020, more than 300 cities have been involved in designing and prioritizing the programs initiatives that community residents believe will help re-imagine opportunity in America.
