About Us
The mission of M.I.X “Memorial Investment Exchange” is to develop viable urban communities that principally benefit all levels of income. We will work collaboratively with key shareholders, such as non-profit agencies, governmental entities, the business community, the faith-based community, residents, and schools.
History
Our Principles:
We believe in building the power and leadership in our community, by fostering connections and supporting civic participation from all residents. We also believe the active members of our community should have a decisive voice in shaping the future of our community by working together to achieve common goals.
We believe that everyone deserves a fair and genuine opportunity to participate in the economic mainstream to achieve economic security. This means that we must provide the access and tools that enable people to succeed and address structural obstacles that prevent many of us from fully benefiting from the economic opportunities available within our communities.
We seek to create inclusive communities where all people are welcomed regardless of their ethnicity, race, income, age or abilities. We seek to create a community development field that is reflective of the people we serve.
We value inventiveness, ambition, creativity and the ability to take risks as distinguishing characteristics of the community development field. We are committed to finding new and innovative ways to achieve our goals in response to the changing context for our work.
We believe in promoting excellence in both process and production. Our field is defined by our ability to achieve tangible, sustainable results — new homes, jobs, businesses and investments — while upholding a participatory and transparent process that ensures accountability to the local community, public agencies, private investors and other stakeholders.
We believe that collaboration is essential to building stronger communities and achieving our
vision for greater economic opportunity. We build and sustain local, statewide and national collaborations
and networks that enable individuals to make more efficient use of the available resources, while achieving greater impact.
