2010 CFED

About the Corporation for Enterprise Development
The Corporation for Enterprise Development is a national nonprofit based in Washington, DC dedicated to expanding economic opportunity for low-income families and communities. CFED uses a “think-do-invest” approach grounded in community practice, public policy and private markets. We explore ideas and practices that help families and communities more fully participate in the mainstream economy. We gather funding partners, local practitioners and policymakers to carry out demonstration programs in communities nationwide. We find investors and policy advocates for ideas that might bring about large scale change. Our current programs, research and policy advocacy fall primarily in the areas of savings and financial security; affordable housing; entrepreneurship; and economic development.

Project Manager for Social Enterprise and Economic Innovation
The goal of this role will be to advance CFED’s existing and emerging social enterprises and to explore opportunities for CFED’s programs to generate earned income through product development, strategic alliances and related strategies.
