X4Impact Case Study – Nonprofit
CWI Labs Focuses on the Economic Mobility for Black and Hispanic Communities
CWI Labs, a nonprofit social lab in D.C. focused on economic mobility, used X4Impact to collaborate on documenting a social challenge, work remotely with others on ideation and fundraising, and informed strategy using the financial insights from X4Impact Interactive Tools.
SOCIAL IMPACT
CWI Labs leverages data and technology to identify the skills that will lead to lasting economic opportunity, confront the systemic inequities in workforce development, and develop solutions for job seekers in traditionally underserved communities.
PROBLEM
- Need to diversify funding in this issue area, beyond federal programs, with new corporate and philanthropic sources
- Need to find implementation partners to create an AI-based solution for economic mobility
- Need to interact in a cost-effective way, with a fragmented ecosystem of tech solution providers and local workforce development organizations

FUTURE PLANS AND IMPACT
