Our Development Philosophy
NECRC shall pursue its vision in accordance with the principles of good community economic development as identified by the Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet).
NECRC will:
-
Use a multi-functional comprehensive approach to community economic development through equity investments in venture and property development, lending or other credit arrangements for local businesses, human resource development through training and counselling, and capacity developing functions (research, advocacy, planning and community development services);
-
Merge economic and social goals to empower local people in the governance of NECRC and of the community as a whole;
-
Use strategic planning and analysis to define and guide the Corporation’s efforts as opposed to relying on an opportunistic and non-systematic approach;
-
Strengthen its financial affairs through ownership of assets, building a wide range of financial supporters and not relying on a single or limited source of outside financial assistance;
-
Develop strategies that arise from local leadership rather than top-down initiatives;
-
Be led by “social entrepreneurs” who have a vision of both social and economic justice; and
-
Maintain a non-profit, independent, non-governmental format.
