LISC NY supports local partners across New York State whose services and programs aim to create a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable New York. LISC NY’s investment strategy is guided by three pillars:
- Radical healing that counters racial bias and inequity, including through community safety, creative placemaking, and arts initiatives;
- Inclusive economic transformation that prioritizes human talent, community health, diverse enterprises, innovation, and public infrastructure; and
- Sustainable wealth generation in communities of color, including through ownership, asset building, and career ladders.
We partner with non-profit community-based organizations, connecting them with civic leaders and change makers across government, financial institutions, and philanthropy. We create and implement solutions that align financial resources, ideas, and best practices to advance community development initiatives, leveraging our broad national network of LISC programs and expertise.
