Social Compact

Social Compact is a coalition of business leaders who seek to promote business investment in lower-income communities for the benefit of current residents. Social Compact aims to counter negative stereotypes—reinforced by poverty and a lack of dependable business-oriented market information—that lead to underinvestment in inner-city markets. In particular, Social Compact addresses these issues by conducting its own highly detailed inner-city neighborhood market analysis (which it calls a "DrillDown" analysis) and through extensive municipal and community trainings and consulting work.
