At Metropolitan Group we are passionate about supporting the development of strong and vibrant communities. We know that community and economic development work requires a commitment to addressing systemic causes of poverty and community decay.

We have worked with community development banks and advocacy organizations to promote affordable housing and innovative home loan programs; microenterprise loan programs for first-time business owners; workforce development initiatives; and urban development projects. We have also helped CDCs, and international development and humanitarian assistance NGOs create public awareness campaigns and communication and fundraising strategies focused on sustainable economic development, environmental health and the alleviation of poverty.

Whether we are working with a client on a new brand, identifying new donors, crafting a public will building campaign, forming a grassroots coalition, developing legislative strategy, writing and designing program materials and online strategies or conducting community visioning sessions that are culturally relevant, our core priorities are ensuring that we collaborate, build capacity and create results.
