Founded in 2009, the Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC) is a worker-directed 501(c)3 nonprofit that incubates and supports projects at the intersections of economic, racial, and climate justice, redistributing wealth, democratizing governance, and providing long-term stewardship for vital resources. SELC creates, develops, fiscally sponsors, spins-off, and nurtures projects, such as immigrant-owned cooperatives, Black-owned real estate cooperatives (such as AmbitioUS grantee and investee East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative [EB PREC]), Indigenous land trusts, and new intermediaries. In 2023, AmbitioUS provided a one-year $50,000 general operating support grant to SELC as it continues to be a leader in developing new models and policies for cooperatives and community-minded economies.
