Community Fund Report
After a deep learning journey to better understand the best practices for dismantling conditions that have led to systemic oppression, disinvestment, and disenfranchisement, Buffalo Together released a report in February 2025 at a public meeting held at Elim Christian Fellowship.
In the report, Buffalo Together shares the results of the learning and outlines specific strategies to transform our community, build generational wealth, and ensure development without displacement. The report details a long-term plan to uplift the East Side of Buffalo, primarily through community-led investment, racial healing, and sustainable economic development.
