Campaign Partners
2009-2010 Assets & Opportunity Partners
As part of the 2009-2010 Assets & Opportunity Campaign, CFED works with 25 state partners to improve state-level policies related to asset building and protection as a means of expanding economic opportunity. Using the framework of the Assets & Opportunity Scorecard, partners advocate for policy change on a range of asset-building issues; engage new stakeholders from the public, nonprofit and for-profit sectors; and inform a state policy agenda for a statewide assets coalition.

State Asset Policy Coalitions
For the past several years, consensus has been growing around the potential of state policy to improve the opportunities to build and protect wealth for low‐ and moderate‐income individuals and families, and for state policy coalitions to be key players in making this policy change. Since 2001, a number of states have built sustainable, effective asset coalitions. The development of each coalition has been informed by the prior successes and challenges of other states, as well as by promotion and support of the approach by national intermediaries, consultants and funders through papers, reports, meetings, conferences and one‐on‐one technical assistance.
Read State Asset Policy Coalitions: State of the Field; Opportunities for Growth to learn more about the emergence of these coalitions as a policy change strategy.
