NEOF has developed a new business strategy consisting of a model that can accelerate community development. Essentially, the model is a system that leverages community development financing into a platform of sustainable businesses in high need communities, and then incubates these businesses through a national network of services and shared knowledge. The key to this model is that it prioritizes community input, control, and participation in profit sharing.

The cities below represent the four target communities in which NEOF has rolled out this new initiative. For information on how to become a part of this community development model, please contact us.
