The American City Coalition is a place-based nonprofit that supports the economic, social, and physical wellbeing of communities through economic and workforce development, research, and policy strategies. Our work focuses both on institutional systems change as well as intentional programming that connects communities with opportunities. Our work begins and ends at the community level, and we know the more we listen to their needs and feedback, the greater our impact. At TACC, we hope to be a model for positive change, where communities are empowered to succeed. We do this work because strong cities are built on shared prosperity.
