The People’s Justice40+ Community Benefit Playbook equips low-income, rural, Black, Indigenous, and frontline communities with practical guidance to access and shape federal investments from laws like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. By simplifying complex funding opportunities and offering step-by-step strategies for building Community Benefit Plans, the playbook helps ensure that climate, infrastructure, and economic resources flow to the communities most in need. This aligns with the Aspen Community Strategies Group’s mission to strengthen rural and Indigenous prosperity by elevating practitioner voices, fostering peer learning, and driving systemic change in how public and philanthropic funding is deployed. Together, these efforts help advance equity, resilience, and opportunity in historically underserved places.
