The Center for Economic Inclusion is a nonprofit organization based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, focused on strengthening the region’s civic infrastructure and capacity to disrupt systemic barriers and influence market forces toward shared prosperity. It advances inclusive growth by promoting data-driven practices, advocating inclusive policies, coordinating cross-sector development, and piloting strategies aimed at narrowing economic and racial gaps. The center operates as a hub for cross-sector, community-driven initiatives and partners with groups such as the Northside Funders Group, East Side Funders Group, Blue Line Coalition, and the Greater Metropolitan Workforce Council to drive equitable outcomes across the seven-county area surrounding Minneapolis and St. Paul. While a small organization in terms of staffing, it seeks to catalyze collaboration and coordinate efforts that increase economic opportunity and resilience for communities of color, immigrants, and other underserved groups. A notable recent development includes partnerships and initiatives like the Regional Inclusive Growth Network, which aims to accelerate locally driven efforts toward more racially equitable economies.
