Newsletter -2019 In Review - Albuquerque Steadily on the Rise
2019 - A Banner Year
When City Alive started its work in 2014, Albuquerque's economy was vying for a spot as one of the last cities to recover from the recession. Today, we are topping different lists. Ones we can be very proud of. We rank No. 6 in the US for employment growth. Our local networks are denser than the global average. And City Alive partners have raised over $40 million dollars to support homegrown economic development efforts over the last six years.
These are great wins. But there is still more to do to bridge the gap in business ownership and leadership. As we embark on 2020, City Alive's leadership and community partners continue our commitment to supporting homegrown business owners and leaders with a focus on people of color.
In 2020 there will be new ways to collaborate, support, and grow Albuquerque's economy though City Alive.
Stay tuned!

Connecting the Dots...
We believe that there’s a better way to build jobs
— start local.
City Alive is a collective impact initiative, meaning we bring people together from all different walks—from government and philanthropy, to business and education leaders, to heads of nonprofits—to support the people who are growing jobs right here at home. We’re not a business. We’re not an organization. We’re not a nonprofit. We are a group of committed leaders dedicated to collaborating to close the gap in business ownership and leadership with a focus on people of color. Learn More
