Christian Technocrats for the Greater Good!
Community Capital Advisors (CCA) is first and foremost a technical assistance organization - We Make Grassroots Projects Better!
Since 1998, more than 100 churches, grassroots organizations and small enterprises have benefited from CCA's technical support, fiscal sponsorship and collaboration in the United States and the West African region. Organizing and/or support CDFIs (community development financial institutions) and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) projects has been the cornerstone of our work.
New Direction
While CCA may continue to provide technical assistance to grassroots groups - nonetheless, we're focusing on CDFI as the overarching pillar of our work. We're organizing Compassion Community Ventures (CCV), as a strategic mechanism to support CCA's affiliated projects and enhance our long-term sustainability.
The goal of the CCV is to induce low-wealth populations to increase their equity stakes in the broader economy - blending old-fashioned wealth building mechanisms with entrepreneurial fortitudes, including as Mark Cuban put it, "accumulation of growth assets that increase in values," overtime; and as the World Bank's Mahmoud Moheildin encouraged, push towards more localized solutions or factoring in local priorities.
The CCV would leverage CCA's expertise, relationships and 20-plus year experience by initially deploying an investment paradigm focused on CCA's affiliated affording housing and small enterprise development projects in the Philadelphia region.
