What did this work actually change? Our FY 2025/2026 Impact Report answers in three acts: Defend Democracy, Demand Diversity, and Defeat Poverty. It closes with The Call, on what that record requires of us now.

This year, our programs and partnerships helped make possible more than $170 million in home purchases, home investment, contracts won, new bonding capacity, financing, and scholarships. We served 4,367 people, households, completed mediations, and firms across our region.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝟐𝟓𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧? It looks like a family with keys to their first home. A returning citizen with a real second chance. A young entrepreneur with capital and opportunity. A neighbor who knows their voice counts. A member who can take control of their health and wellness. Our July issue of Momentum, Civil Rights & Civic Inclusion, is here, and it is about closing the gap between what was promised and what is real. In the city where it all started, democracy still needs you.

Every June, we send a note like this one. And every June, some of it probably sounds familiar. We tell the same story about June 19th, 1865. We say the same things about freedom, about the people who came before us, about the work that's still in front of us.

We do that on purpose.

History doesn't survive on its own. The things a people stop repeating are the things that get forgotten, and forgetting has always been one of the quietest ways to erase a movement. So we tell it again. Every year. Out loud. We say the names, we mark the date, we gather in the streets, because a story passed from one generation to the next is a story that can't be buried.

That's what Juneteenth is. A celebration of the day freedom finally came, and a refusal to let anyone forget how long it took to get here, who fought for it, and how much of that fight is still ours.

So if this feels repetitive, good. Repetition is how we keep it alive. It's how our grandparents kept it alive for us, and how we keep it alive for whoever comes next.

The movement doesn't die as long as we keep telling the story. Thank you for telling it with us.
