Since its founding In 1985 as a Community Economic Development Organization, New Economics For Women (NEW) has maintained that economic stability and mobility are fundamental human rights. Over the last 39 years, NEW has delivered on this belief and its mission to spark economic mobility through wealth creation/asset-building programs and services, affordable housing, education, entrepreneurship, and advocacy for economic justice.
NEW helps transform economic mindsets, change gender dynamics and create a cradle of knowledge and wealth that can be passed onto future generations.
Entrepreneurship develops organically out of NEW’s innovative spirit, becoming key to propelling women beyond stability to wealth creation that also extends to their families.
