Community Capital Advisors

Community Capital Advisors (CCA) was born in the 1990s when the Rev. Dr. Tony Campolo, PhD - ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Campolo ), a former spiritual advisor to President Bill Clinton sent a group of Eastern University graduates to assist a former Philadelphia Eagle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Lusk ) with economic development pro... jects in North Philadelphia, including a credit union and charter school . Since 1998, we have provided various forms of technical assistance to grassroots groups, including the formation of CDFIs , STEM education ecosystems , and social-impact projects. Our current initiatives include the rehabilitation of our 6721-23 Musgrave Street property to kickstart an affordable housing initiative in the Mt. Airy-Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Women Capital (USA) CDFI , and the Liberia Institute for Girls - Todee (LIG) . Teach a Girl to Fish - is our revised mission since 2018, primarily focused on lifting women and girls to fulfill their highest potentials and ambitions - and so, lifting others. As Melinda Gates noted in, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World, When you lift up women, you lift up everybody families, communities, entire countries. Although tiny, we help build intervention mechanisms that bridge gender wealth disparity - going beyond gender pay gap ; arguably, a pivotal gender and social equity issue. Our work has been featured in U.S. mainstream media and international papers, including the Philadelphia Business Journal ; the American Banker , and the Liberian Observer .Read More
