Sacramento Inclusive Economic Development Collaborative

"The Sacramento Inclusive Economic Development Collaborative (Sac IEDC) has worked the past ten months to support our small businesses in any way we could. Whether it be helping to fill out a form, or placing a phone call to provide assistance, or walking the neighborhoods to check on how the business owners are doing. Our fifteen partner organizations have banded together and worked tirelessly to provide the expertise, access, and even a shoulder to lean on, sometimes."

Sac IEDC is proud to assist Sacramento small businesses like Kids Club Martial Arts, which was nominated by the Power Inn Alliance for a grant through our partnership with Donate4Sacramento. Kids Club has had to make lots of changes to their business this year, including moving their classes outside. With all the changes that this year has brought, they've still been helping their students gain confidence and discipline, moving up the ranks of their belt system!

The Power Inn Alliance team received these kind words from the owners of Kids Club Marial Arts: "On behalf of our school and our 100 students, we want to thank you genuinely for nominating us for the grant! Times such as these are incredibly difficult and acts of kindness like this go a LONG way to support so many people. We cannot thank you enough!"

This week on the Sac IEDC blog - a peek in the planning of a recent webinar: "Planificación, permisos y recursos" / "Planning, Permitting & Resources", presented in partnership with the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. This webinar was truly a team effort that brought together speakers from five organizations, multiple interpreters, and other staff. A special shout out to the entire team at the SHCC for coordinating this webinar, as well as the City of Sacramento for investing in this programming.
