    Why We’re Different

    At TREC Community Investors, we’re unique because of what we do—and what we don’t.

    We don’t specify how communities will evolve

    We team up with our neighbors (many of whom are people of color) to give their vision a voice, energizing their economies while honoring their rich cultures.

    We don’t simply make a donation

    We’re the only organization of our kind to support underserved communities with both financial capital and human capital, combining access to loans and grants with pro-bono real estate expertise that dramatically amplifies our investment.

    We don’t stand alone in providing support

    We view community revitalization as a team effort that involves local businesses and other nonprofits, all working together to achieve our shared development goals.

    We don’t focus on making improvements through a single development

    We strive to elevate the quality of entire neighborhoods, addressing systemic issues and paving the way for strategic growth that brings in more services, more jobs, and more opportunities.
