Surdna's Strong Local Economies Program has released new funding guidelines and has begun accepting letters of inquiry. The program will focus in two related areas:
Connecting people to opportunities that offer good jobs within reach for low- and moderate-income residents and provide sustainable development solutions that enable people to easily travel between their homes and jobs, schools, and day-to-day services; and
Creating economic opportunities that include a diversity of vibrant businesses and sectors, and improves residents' livelihood and access to quality jobs and training within a region.
