Strengthening the systems communities rely on every day.
In 2025, Prosperity Now continued strengthening its role as a national intermediary helping connect research, implementation, practitioner infrastructure, community finance, and cross-sector partnerships.
Across our work, we supported practitioners, financial institutions, policymakers, funders, and community organizations navigating rising economic pressure, housing affordability challenges, workforce shifts, and growing operational complexity. Through applied research, field coordination, technical assistance, convenings, and implementation-focused initiatives, Prosperity Now continued advancing practical solutions designed to strengthen long-term financial stability and economic mobility.
The 2025 Annual Report highlights how Prosperity Now worked across housing and homeownership, entrepreneurship and small business, child and family financial health, tax opportunity, and field solutions to help strengthen the systems communities rely on every day.
“Communities do not need more disconnected solutions. They need systems that work better together.”
Marisa Calderon, President and CEO
