"The Center for Community Wealth Building (CCW) has been an incredible asset and partner to not only the National Western Center, but to our neighbors in Globeville, Elyria and Swansea. CCWB is completely aligned and helps us to implement our mission and vision at the National Western Center to be an inclusive and equitable organization that maximizes benefits for all people, especially those in our surrounding communities. CCWB has helped us move the needle on those efforts by convening and connecting us with their network of anchor institutions, community resources and small, local, minority owned businesses, which advances our mutual goals to close the racial wealth gap through best practices surrounding procurement, hiring, and investment. We are so grateful for their expertise and dedication to building a local economy that works for everyone."
