What is the Grounding Values in Research?
This NACEDA program builds, expands, and shares data for the community economic development (CED) sector. The program began in 2021 with a three-year research study conducted by the Urban Institute on the financial health, programs, production, and services of community-based development organizations (CBDOs) throughout the United States.
Academics, advocates, and authors are using the data produced in that study to create ground-breaking new research and strategic initiative. Take a look at our recent Grounding Values in Research publications below. Or, visit the Urban Institute project page to get your own hands on the data.
Money Meets Community
The 2023 Money Meets Community Series explores the lines of business and financial resources of community economic development organizations across the United States.
1st National Census of CBDOs Since 2005
The census asked community development nonprofits questions about their programs, production, and services. The results tell a powerful story about community development nonprofits and provide data to increase the flow of resources.
1st Report on CBDOs Based on Tax Data
The Financial Health of Community-Based Development Organizations Health includes a summary report, 140 state and regional fact sheets, and a technical report. Use the findings to support your advocacy, fundraising, and capacity building goals in your geographic area.
