Nexus Community Partners

Founded in 2004, Nexus Community Partners works across the Twin Cities region to build more engaged and powerful communities of color by supporting community-building initiatives that expand community assets and foster social and human capital.  The nonprofit’s work hinges on a three-pronged approach focused on “authorship,” building infrastructure for stronger community engagement learning and practice; “leadership,” investing in and cultivating leaders of color who are advancing an equity agenda; and “ownership,” adopting a community wealth building framework prioritizing local and equitable ownership and control of wealth, mutually reinforcing economic enterprises, and locally anchored assets.
