About this Event

Join Rondo CLT for a Funder Briefing and Learn How We Are Building the Next Chapter of Rondo

Rondo Community Land Trust invites you to join us for an exclusive briefing on the future of place-based investment in the historic Rondo neighborhood.

This conversation will explore how Rondo CLT is expanding beyond affordable housing to steward a district-level strategy that strengthens community ownership, supports entrepreneurs, advances cultural vitality, and creates lasting economic opportunity.

Guests will receive an inside look at several initiatives shaping this work, including:

• The launch of the Rondo African-American Arts District (RAAD)
• The growth of Rondo Exchange as a platform for entrepreneurs and creative businesses
• Commercial corridor investments along Selby Avenue
• Emerging opportunities for public, philanthropic, and private partnership

Rather than investing in individual projects, Rondo CLT is building the conditions for long-term community prosperity, where housing, business development, arts and culture, and neighborhood investment reinforce one another to create a thriving district.

This briefing is designed for philanthropic leaders, institutional partners, corporate investors, and community stakeholders interested in advancing equitable, place-based development in Saint Paul.

Join us to learn how your partnership can help accelerate a community-owned future for Rondo.
