WASHINGTON, DC | Today, MacKenzie Scott’s Yield Giving announced the Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic Development (CNHED) as one of the Yield Giving Open Call’s awardees working with people and in places experiencing the greatest need in the United States. CNHED received $2 million.
CNHED, a membership-based nonprofit focused on convening, advocating, innovating, and coalition building, advances community economic development solutions that address the inequity of under-resourced communities in the District of Columbia. Since its inception in 2000, CNHED has grown from 55 organizations to nearly 180 today. CNHED’s strength is in its convening power, highly successful advocacy, robust communications, and information sharing, and equipping its members with tools and resources for their work.
In March 2023, Yield Giving launched an Open Call for community-led, community-focused organizations whose explicit purpose is to enable individuals and families to achieve substantive improvement in their well-being through foundational resources.
