COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
NICI collaborates with diverse community partners
who share our vision of mobilizing resources to create economic opportunity and growth in our priority communities. NICI understands the importance of not just extending funding support, but opening opportunities to marginalized groups by volunteering time and attending events that drive the conversation of equitable economic mobility forward.
