Abstract
The recent Opportunity Zone Investor Summit co-hosted by Accelerator for America (""A4A"") and presented by the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth at Stanford University signals a perfect moment to provide an early report on our conversations with finance experts and on the ideas articulated by Investor Summit Panelists from all across the country. For the past several months, Lori Bamberger has been hosting conversations with a remarkable set of leaders in the fields of community development, private equity and impact capital, banks and community development financial institutions (CDFIs), tax, renewable energy, clean water, infrastructure, philanthropy and family offices, venture capital and social enterprise.
Over 400 more experts, including Mayors or delegations from 35 cities, attended the March 18, 2019 Investor Summit to share learnings and pitch projects to investors. We conducted these interviews and convened the Summit in hopes that we could use these experts’ collective wisdom to ascertain how to use the Opportunity Zone tax incentive to catalyze new financing for inclusive, job-creating, economic growth-propelling, clean and resilient, wealth-building change for the people and places that have suffered from decades of disinvestment.
