The power of a local community has never felt more important than in the spring of 2025. As political upheaval, economic contraction and societal polarization send shock waves through our country, it is a privilege to work at the grassroots level, directly resolving tangible problems to make a community a stronger place. Here along the East Colfax Corridor, The Fax Partnership is doing just that: fighting involuntary displacement through direct services to residents and business owners, advancing local development through land acquisition strategies and partnering with the community to advocate for policies such as safety investments, land use changes and City and philanthropic investment to support our local community.
