The National Training & Information Center (NTIC) is a Network of 27 grassroots power organizations in 14 states and the District of Columbia that fight for racial and economic justice. NTIC builds grassroots power at the local and national level through training powerful organizers and leaders, building strong organizations, and running national organizing campaigns.

NTIC is most famous for leading the 1977 passage of the Community Reinvestment Act, a piece of landmark policy that has resulted in over $3 trillion worth of home loans being made in low-income neighborhoods.

NTIC helps build local community organizations, develop community leaders, and run national campaigns on issues impacting low-income communities and communities of color. NTIC is currently running or developing campaigns on fighting foreclosures, affordable housing, worker justice, and access to quality education.

The NTIC Training Team, a collective of 12 Executive Directors, Lead Organizers, and Community Leaders runs the network’s expanding National Training and Leadership Development Program.

NTIC’s core purpose is to develop the talent, organizations, and ideas that will create a more just and equitable society.
