Capital and Culture Living Cities recently launched the Capital + Culture Platform ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup to examine ownership, wealth, and opportunity. This signals readiness to partner on large-scale, high-visibility urban development initiatives and cross-sector collaborations with foundations, financial institutions, and cultural stakeholders.

Emeritus Impact Recognized as an Emeritus Impact Manager by ImpactAssets for the 15th consecutive year indicates strong credibility and a track record in impact investing. This presents a compelling talking point when proposing co-investment, fund-of-funds collaborations, or donor-aligned grant programs with potential funders.

Funding Experience With a history of mobilizing nearly $1 billion in investments and a fund-of-funds approach, Living Cities can position as a strategic partner for scalable urban impact programs, including pipeline development, co-funding opportunities, and knowledge-sharing platforms that attract philanthropic and corporate capital.

Tech Enablement The tech stack includes Salesforce, Sage Intacct, Google Cloud, and AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude, suggesting an openness to modern CRM, financial management, and AI-enabled solutions. This creates opportunities for sales of integrated nonprofit tech, data analytics, and performance benchmarking tools tailored to funders and city partners.

Grants and Partnerships Strategic alliances with major funders and recent anchor partnerships in initiatives like Breaking Barriers to Business highlight a pattern of collaborating with foundations and banks to bolster small businesses and community development. This indicates potential for joint program design, grant management platforms, and impact measurement services for funders and community-facing initiatives.
