Capital Good Fund’s Mission: A Perfect Match for the City of Providence
Sunday, September 06, 2009
David Cicilline, Mayor of Providence, recently wrote, in the on-line magazine Social Enterprise, that the city is fast becoming a ‘hot bed for young social entrepreneurs’ and that social enterprise is a ‘key ingredient to our future success’, highlighting the Capital Good Fund as an example of this burgeoning sector. Mayor Cicilline points out that his administration will be ‘paying particular attention to the need of social enterprises and how municipal government can play a role in helping them achieve their goals.’ Nurturing social enterprise, small businesses, and non-profits is a critical component to the city’s economic future, an idea captured by its recent rebranding as the The Creative Capital.
