Fresno DRIVE seeks to answer the question:

 

"What would it take to fundamentally transform the Greater Fresno Region
by 2030 and create opportunities for all residents
to achieve real economic mobility by fostering an economy  that is inclusive, vibrant and sustainable?"

Race equity must be at the center of economic initiatives to achieve inclusive economic growth. DRIVE embeds race equity at the core of the work to maintain its central importance throughout the rollout and implementation of the initiatives, and to achieve growth and prosperity for marginalized black and brown communities in Fresno. Learn more about how race equity is placed at the center of DRIVE's theory of change, shared analysis, and community engagement.
