Fostering Inclusive Economic Models

EBCF’s vision of an inclusive, fair, and just East Bay is rooted in equal opportunity for all. However, structural barriers have prevented many communities from accessing the same economic opportunity and prosperity enjoyed by many of their neighbors. To create a truly inclusive economy, we raise resources, fund social movements, and encourage changes in policies and systems to move us closer to an economy that works for all.

An Inclusive Economy provides equitable opportunities for good jobs, entrepreneurship, and career pathways, particularly for underserved communities. We aspire to live in an East Bay with vibrant, resilient communities, strong local economies, and thriving industries that contribute to a sustainable environment, and the health, well-being, and prosperity of its residents.
