SPARCC: What We’ve Learned May Surprise You [sparcchub.org]

Alicia Doktor 1/17/194:00 AM

The Strong, Prosperous, and Resilient Communities Challenge (SPARCC) has a bold mission to change the way regions grow, invest, and build. The initiative kicked off two years ago as a partnership across a range of funders and nonprofit organizations from across the country to create new approaches to equitable regional development, focusing on three areas or “lenses” – health, racial equity, and climate change.

Midway through our project we took an in-depth look at how this initiative is working, how it can stand as a model for others and how we can turbocharge this effort in the next phase. We revisited some of our original hypotheses and took time to reflect on what we’ve learned.

So, how have our assumptions played out? A new report based on a series of interviews gave us a lot of answers.

We've heard about the Mobilizing Action for Resilient Communities (MARC) sites - here is the final report from Sonoma County which may offer additional insights about community based ACEs focused efforts. Maybe this report can contribute to these discussions? Karen

I posted this to our staff site after reading the summary. This seems like a good discussion topic for us as a team as we are working in communities.
