We offer a unique combination of scalable practical solutions, in-depth <br />research and proven policy solutions, all aimed at building wealth for those who need it most. <br />Racial Wealth Divide Initiative (RWDI) at Prosperity Now works to strengthen the ability of all Prosperity Now’s <br />programs to proactively address racial wealth inequality and deepen analysis of asset poverty challenges impacting <br />communities of color. RWDI launches and implements projects that highlight best practices for eradicating racial <br />wealth inequality, including collaborating with local and regional organizations. RWDI supports the efforts of <br />Prosperity Now and its partners to drive policy solutions that reduce racial economic inequality at the national, state <br />and local levels. <br />City of South Bend, Human Capital and Inclusion <br />The mission of Human Capital and Inclusion is to facilitate a diverse and inclusive city collaborative in our workplace, <br />workforce and community.
