The Oakland Fund Playbook is a place-based guide to investing in underestimated people and places by first listening to, and co-creating with, community power builders. The playbook is structured around three pillars: Capital Structuring, Community Engagement & Trust-Based Outreach, and Data-Driven Impact Optimization. Each section highlights stories to inform and inspire future place-based efforts, as well as a User Guide with questions and resources for practitioners.
