Our Mission

The Center for Economic Inclusion (the Center) is committed to closing racial employment, income, and wealth gaps, and building racially inclusive and equitable regional economies.

Building Racially Equitable and Inclusive Regional Economies

The Center for Economic Inclusion is the nation’s first organization dedicated exclusively to equipping public and private sector employers and policy makers to close racial employment, income, and wealth gaps and catalyze inclusive economic growth.

The Center is Black woman-founded and led. Since the Center’s founding in 2017, we have inspired innovation and transformation across the nation.

The Center's work has ignited a movement for systemic change and shared accountability and investments in Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Latino workers, business owners, and racial and economic justice ambassadors, who hold the keys to regional economic growth and competitiveness.

The Center is a think-and-do tank committed to accelerating systemic change. We create, amplify, and help leaders execute and institutionalize anti-racist solutions to build the capacity of businesses, governments, racial and economic justice organizations, and Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Latino owned businesses that are ready to partner to create thriving, racially equitable regional economies where all people can build wealth and economic mobility.
