About Us

Part network, part think-tank, and part collaborative, NC3 was founded in 2017 by a group of innovative thought leaders with expertise in a variety of fields related to finance and community development. They shared the concern that systemic economic problems were undermining life in communities across the country; they shared a vision of a more sustainable, inclusive, and democratic economy; and they were united in their belief in the potential of grassroots community champions and Main Street investors from across the economic spectrum working together to drive meaningful systemic change.

NC3’s programming is currently focused on expanding the community capital ecosystem through NC3’s Community Capital Accelerator and related educational cohorts. Through the Accelerator, NC3 consults directly with community builders to embed community capital in their projects, most of whom are developing "diversified community investment funds" (DCIF). NC3’s educational cohorts are directed at growing the pool of technical assistance providers trained in community capital strategies so that they can support the growing demand for alternatives to the extractive economy.
