We are..
a collective of community asset builders investing in our neighborhoods through creative problem-solving at the intersection of resource & property activation, relationship building, and community-led design.
The Impact Guild
We are..
working across industries and traditional silos, connecting faith communities, nonprofits, real estate and design professionals, city leaders, and civic partners to bridge the gap between San Antonio's underutilized property and neighborhood needs.
Bridge Builders
We are..
creating space for monthly gatherings where diverse partners ask: How can we use our resources—from congregational property to neighborhood leadership—to address climate resilience and housing needs in our communities?
Conveners
We are..
activating San Antonio's underutilized resources, such as the 3,000 acres of land owned by congregations, for affordable housing, workforce development, and community resilience.
Catalysts
We are..
guiding community-based organizations through project visioning, community engagement, and development partner selection to ensure mission-aligned outcomes.
Facilitators
We are..
committed to equitable development that honors existing community strengths, centers resident voices, and puts people over profit.
