Did you know that 70% of our bondholders have purchased a Series A bond? We wanted to ensure that our community bond campaign would be accessible to all types of investors, which is why investments start as low as $500 for our Series A bond. Hear from one of our supporters, Asiya, on why they purchased a Kensington Community Bond: “I was attracted to the Kensington Community Bonds because I wanted to grow my money in a way that aligned with my values in working towards a more sustainable, affordable, and community-driven city. As someone studying human geography at UofT, I loved applying what I learned in the classroom about community land trusts in practice. Investing in a community bond would benefit the investor and the community. It's a win-win situation where everyone benefits from the cause, like a symbiotic relationship. It's a low-risk investment, so that eases my mind as well.” Help us reach our next target of raising $500K!

Building cities that put people first is the inspiration behind Sanlam Investments’ Property Impact Fund that is rooted in the philosophy highlighted during International World Cities Day on the theme “Better Cities, Better Life”. This session is a case study on The Sanlam Property Impact Fund, which will support businesses that deliver affordable services to the “missing middle”. The missing middle refers to those who are employed and do not qualify for government support and services, but are not affluent enough to receive affordable support from financial services and other social infrastructure providers.  In SA, this represents 65% of all individual taxpayers. The fund will support providers of affordable housing, affordable education, student housing, rural and township retail opportunities

By structuring these funds correctly, grantors can make a lasting impact on the lives of their children and grandchildren.

There is power in bringing financial literacy directly into the community💡🫶🏾 In far too many neighborhoods, access to affordable banking, credit, savings, and investment opportunities is often limited. This creates a cycle of financial insecurity that is difficult to break. By establishing place-based financial centers, we can provide the guidance and resources these communities need. Through one-on-one counseling, workshops, and connections to local resources, we can help residents: • Understand budgeting, debt management, and responsible credit use • Access safe banking options and build savings • Learn about investment vehicles and plan for retirement • Navigate complex financial systems and avoid predatory lenders The impact of this work extends far beyond the individual. When families achieve financial stability, it strengthens the entire community. Children grow up seeing the benefits of financial literacy, and neighbors support one another on the path to prosperity. Financial empowerment is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It requires an understanding of local needs and cultures. But when implemented thoughtfully, it has the power to uplift communities, create generational change, and build a more equitable society. The L.I.F.E. Group will continue to champion financial literacy as a vital component of our community development and outreach programs. 📸 Shakeema Grier working with residents in West Charlotte, NC #Lakeview #Charlotte #Community
