Why become a Charter Member?

Your contribution represents more than membership — it’s an investment in transformative community development. Charter Members help expand access to training for the people and places that need it most. Your support empowers local leaders who deeply care about where they live and build, especially women and people of color, often working in formerly redlined neighborhoods.

why join?

Because your city needs you.
Incremental development is about giving people the tools to shape their own blocks and neighborhoods. Our members are making real change—and they’re not doing it alone.

By joining, you’re not just gaining access to resources. You're joining a growing movement of neighbors building wealth and character into their communities, one project at a time.
