Higher Ground invites you to a conversation about community investments in education, housing, and economic growth.
About this Event

From Dollars to Impact: A Higher Ground Community Forum will bring together community members and leaders to explore how city and state investments shape housing, education, and economic opportunity across Boston and beyond. This free of charge, in-person gathering at Roxbury Community College’s Media Arts Center Auditorium will provide an opportunity to learn how funding decisions impact the communities you care about, increase access to those shaping community investments, and discuss how to catalyze state resources into real impact. Join us to connect with leaders, engage with Higher Ground and be part of a powerful conversation on equity, opportunity, and change. Free tickets are available as well as several sponsorship levels for those that would like to donate and support the event.
