Resolution Foundation recently published, ‘we are failing to deliver on the promise of inter-generational fairness’ at so many levels. I couldn’t agree more. It’s time that that development paradigm needs to shifted if vulnerability has to be addressed in a meaningful way. It’s time that we gave our future generations a chance to flourish! I wonder what is it that needs to happen in policy and practice spaces to drive societal change? — People and community centred local and national policies that offer a bridge to a more sustainable and inclusive future. — A bold third sector that is not afraid to break from past convention and is building agency and resilience in communities from the ground up. — Evidence-informed project, programmes and policies that build on real ‘lived’ knowledge of what works and what doesn’t. — Siloes that are broken as new collaboration rules are spoken. — Bridging the emergency and development divide so that reactive crisis response efforts are met with substantive longer-term government responses and development focused endeavours and mindsets. — Funding and resource is not seen as a panacea for success. — Businesses work in socially imaginative and responsible ways hand-in-hand with public and civil society sectors to drive real transformative change in society. Ultimately, a collaborative and future-focused approach is what will really make a difference. There is already a huge amount of good happening all around us, we just need to find ways to challenge ourselves more, consolidate, strengthen, focus and step up!

By financially empowering underserved communities, advisors can play a crucial part in tackling inequality. The lack of financial resources contributes significantly to the wealth gap in the United States. As it widens, financial education becomes increasingly crucial for economic stability and growth within underserved communities—solving this issue is why The Financial Alliance for Racial Equity (FARE) was founded. Enhancing financial knowledge is essential, as it empowers individuals to navigate economic systems, leverage opportunities for wealth accumulation, and ultimately help bridge the stark disparities in financial well-being—everyone should play the game of life with access to good cards.

Here’s another example of how cooperatives can help bring communities out of poverty.

Propel America is featured in a new report from America Forward for being a leader in the social innovation field when it comes to building rigorous formative research – such as rapid-cycle experiments and early-stage research – and continuously improving our model.
