STATE OF EVANSVILLE REPORT
Unless you love the place you live, you can never be an agent in its transformation. Do you love Evansville? Listening is the first act of love each of us can do for our city. What are the needs and dreams of our city? What holds us back?
The purpose of the State of E Report is to coalesce and communicate our city’s most pressing needs so that individuals like you can leverage it to solve those needs.
While there are many needs worth addressing, we intend this report to highlight the ones that have an exponential effect on the flourishing of every person.
In 2019, we set out to establish a preview of what we hope will become a trusted guide in subsequent years for navigating our community’s needs and dreams. We hope you’ll read it, digest it, pull people together, and act on it.
FULL AND FUTURE REPORTS
Thank you for reading through this brief summary of our pilot report for 2019. We hope exploring a highlight of these five issues leads you to a better understanding of our city and a clearer focus on where to invest your time, talent, and resources. Future reports will also help you discern how you can make those investments. You Can Download The Free Full Report At www.forevansville.org/stateofe. ABOUT FOR EVANSVILLE We are a social entrepreneurial organization committed to cultivating collaboration between the Church and the City around the city’s needs and dreams that align with the mission of Jesus Christ. We want to see Evansville be a city where every person: Experience love and give love prioritizes the holistic well-being of all people and has work that prioritizes the holistic well-being of all people and has work that provides community value and individual purpose. That kind of city is for everyone. In order to build a trusted resource of synthesized, actionable data and insight for our community, we are looking to coordinate and collaborate with local research experts for the 2020 State of E Report (i.e. foundations, consultants, and businesses). If you or your organization would like to help us improve, support, and verify future reports, please contact us at info@forevansville.org. Citywide flourishing happens when every person in the city flourishes. We pursue the flourishing of every person by bringing people together to solve our city’s most pressing needs. We do that by convening church and community leaders, cultivating the mindsets and language necessary for transformative impact, and storytelling about the way things are and the way things could be. We believe there is an enormous amount of opportunity for people of different backgrounds and perspectives to work together toward common passions. |
