President Clinton Praises LISC in his new book, Giving
25 Sep 2007
"I am always surprised by how few Americans have heard about LISC's remarkable work...If you're an investor who wants a proven model for doing well by doing good, you should contact LISC for opportunities."1
--President Clinton
Local Initiatives Support Corporation is honored to have been included in President Clinton's new book, Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World, in a chapter on model programs that he believes deserve broad replication.
In the excerpt, President Clinton describes our general work in community development, while making specific reference to our work with New Markets Tax Credits, green development, the Gulf, and AmeriCorps. He encourages both investors and ordinary citizens to become involved with LISC and their local Community Development Corporation to achieve their community development goals.
