The Surdna Foundation helps America's communities invest in their people and their places, acknowledging both as invaluable assets that are critical to long-term economic prosperity. We provide early support for communities that seek to increase access to opportunity for all residents to build their wealth in a sustainable manner.

We fund work in two key related areas:

• Connecting People to Opportunities

  Communities of opportunity include thriving businesses that offer good jobs within reach of diverse residents. They also incorporate sustainable and affordable transportation and development solutions enabling all residents to easily travel from their homes to jobs, education, and amenities.

• Creating Economic Opportunities

  A strong and sustainable local economy supports many vibrant sectors and provides good jobs and training within a region.
