Experts Online: Linking Your CDCs to Local Anchor Institutions
Webcast Event - April 23, 2008; 2:00 - 3:30 PM
presented by The Field Resources and Learning and Federal Policy Units of LISC and
The National Alliance of Community Economic Development Associations
Faced with declining federal and state community development funding, CDCs are increasingly looking to expand partnerships with local employers. In many cities, the largest local employers are area nonprofit hospitals and universities. These institutions are often called "anchor institutions" because, unlike private corporations, the nature of their business makes moving difficult, thus increasing the degree to which their success is dependent on community economic wellbeing.
