                                levels have continued to present major obstacles. Still, we have been

                                The year saw CFED’s presidency pass from Brian Dabson to Andrea
                                Levere, only the third leadership transition in CFED’s 25-year history.
                                This smooth passing of the baton opened opportunities for all
                                involved. Brian seized the chance to write, think, speak and lead in
                                the field of rural entrepreneurship he has done so much to develop.

                                                integrity was marked by CFED’s growth in size, capacity
                                                and impact.

                                                CFED’s Board of Directors unanimously appointed
                                                Andrea Levere as CFED’s new President. A member of

                                                and competence, and her creativity and her vision have
                                                exceeded all expectations.

      The new CFED website added a number of new features, including
      personal success stories, toolkits and interactive features for our program
      partners. The site now also features a grassroots advocacy center to help
      link community practitioners and private partners with policymakers.
      Visitors to the site can sign up at the advocacy center to receive regular
      policy updates and calls to action.

bringing together community
practice, public policy and
private markets
Economic opportunity can be expanded from the ground up — through
the innovation and testing found in local community programs. It can
also be a result of the vision of policymakers or the drive of business
leaders. CFED believes community practice, public policy and private
markets are all vital to building a healthy and inclusive economy. That
is why our work focuses on bringing these elements together in new and
effective ways.

In September, CFED hosted the 2004 IDA Learning Conference, “Sharing
Our Visions, Forging Our Paths,” in New Orleans. The conference,
which was the seventh IDA conference, brought together nearly 800
participants, including community-based organizations, financial
institutions, policymakers, researchers, funders and accountholders.
Sessions highlighted resources, key innovations, and best practices, and
recognized leading individuals and organizations. The conference offered
an unparalleled opportunity for sharing information and resources,
networking, coalition-building and learning.

In partnership with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, CFED produced
Mapping Rural Entrepreneurship, a groundbreaking report on the
institutions, programs and activities that support entrepreneurship
across rural America. In addition to providing a national overview,
the report provided recommendations about what opportunities may
exist for policy and practical action. Acting on these findings, the
Kellogg Foundation involved CFED in a major initiative to stimulate
entrepreneurship in rural America. CFED managed the proposal and
selection process to identify programs for Rural Entrepreneurship
Development Systems grants of up to $2 million. More than 180
applications were reviewed by CFED for the Kellogg Foundation.

For generations, federal policies and programs have helped Americans in
their efforts to buy homes, prepare for retirement, send their children to
college, and weather unexpected financial storms. Despite their clearly
high price tag, no one had ever taken a comprehensive look at these
policies as a whole.

CFED broke new ground by conducting the first analysis of how much
federal asset-building initiatives cost, where the money goes, and who
benefits. The report found that, counted conservatively, the cost is
at least $335 billion per year. Overwhelmingly, the benefits of these
policies and programs go to those who already have assets — high- and
very high-income families — while benefiting middle- and lower-income
families only modestly.

  • 11. Rural ENtrEPrENEurShiP In partnership with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, CFED produced Mapping Rural Entrepreneurship, a groundbreaking report on the institutions, programs and activities that support entrepreneurship across rural America. In addition to providing a national overview, the report provided recommendations about what opportunities may exist for policy and practical action. Acting on these findings, the Kellogg Foundation involved CFED in a major initiative to stimulate entrepreneurship in rural America. CFED managed the proposal and selection process to identify programs for Rural Entrepreneurship Development Systems grants of up to $2 million. More than 180 applications were reviewed by CFED for the Kellogg Foundation.

Despite their clearly high price tag, no one had ever taken a comprehensive look at these policies as a whole. CFED broke new ground by conducting the first analysis of how much federal asset-building initiatives cost, where the money goes, and who benefits. The report found that, counted conservatively, the cost is at least $335 billion per year. Overwhelmingly, the benefits of these policies and programs go to those who already have assets — high- and very high-income families — while benefiting middle- and lower-income families only modestly. ——
