Latino Economic Development Center

Mission Statement

LEDC envisions all residents having the awareness and equitable access to financial stability by building financial assets and becoming actively invested and engaged in their communities. By fostering communities that are inclusive, just, and self-sustaining, LEDC values the economic and social advancement of the underserved as fundamental to the long-term health of the larger communities where they live and work. We envision ourselves as a trusted leader in our field, raising standards, driving innovation, and cultivating partnerships throughout DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Puerto Rico. From our educational initiatives and financial services to our organizing and advocacy efforts, LEDC will help participants reach their goals and create an environment where those participants themselves become leaders in their communities.
