New York Fed to Host Event on Fostering and Improving Markets Investing in Under-Resourced Communities

NEW YORK-The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will host "Making Missing Markets: Connecting Communities and Capital" on Wednesday, November 19, 2025. The hybrid event will explore ways to connect new sources of capital to community needs.

Speakers will highlight the vital role of community-based interventions and strategies to scale existing sources of capital for communities. Please see the event page for further details and the latest agenda.

The event is part of the New York Fed's Community Development efforts.
