About EDA

Equitable Development Action (EDA), formerly known as Minnesota African Coalition (MAC), was established in 2019 with its primary goal to be a voice for the underserved and to foster equity and economic inclusion through capacity development as a bedrock for building generational wealth in underserved communities. 

At the forefront of our endeavors at EDA lies a fervent dedication to the enlightenment, empowerment, and upliftment of the underserved, poised to seize a once-in-a-lifetime chance to access substantial and equitable funding amounting to billions of dollars in the forthcoming years within the state of Minnesota. Our ethos is firmly rooted in the cultivation of equity and economic inclusivity, championed through the pillars of advocacy, engagement, research, and capacity development, recognized as indispensable instruments in the cultivation of intergenerational prosperity across marginalized communities.

Central to our mission is the empowerment of these communities, facilitated by the provision of indispensable resources, bespoke advocacy, and tailor-made solutions meticulously crafted to navigate the labyrinthine pathways of historical and systemic adversity.

Envisioning a future where avenues for intergenerational wealth accumulation extend universally, transcending geographical and racial divides, we are committed to fostering collaboration, networking, and stakeholder engagement, instrumental in catalyzing the trajectory of wealth creation and engendering a more egalitarian society where every individual is afforded the opportunity to flourish and bask in economic abundance.

Our distinctive edge lies in our unwavering allegiance, adaptability, and willingness to forge alliances with entities sharing our noble aspirations of equity promotion in the heart of Minnesota. Embracing a holistic outlook, we strive to augment equity and justice in our pursuits, cognizant of the glaring disparities entrenched within the state's socio-economic fabric. At EDA, professionalism, geniality, and an unwavering commitment converge to lay the groundwork for a more balanced and righteous society, one that serves as a beacon of hope for all.

Harnessing the power of targeted research and data analysis within minority enclaves of Minnesota, we endeavor to assume a pioneering role in the realm of equitable development within the Twin Cities. Our methodology, grounded in data-driven insights and evidence-based practices, positions us as vanguards in the quest for equitable progress, armed with the knowledge to fashion bespoke solutions attuned to the unique challenges confronting marginalized communities, thereby nurturing the seeds of intergenerational prosperity.

We advocate tirelessly for the underrepresented, extending a helping hand to communities often relegated to the shadows, bereft of vocal advocates to articulate their pressing needs. Through our endeavors, we endeavor to amplify their voices, enhancing visibility and garnering support for their causes, thereby fostering a climate of greater equity and inclusion in the tapestry of community development. By magnifying their narratives, we aspire to sculpt a landscape where all individuals stand on equal footing, poised to realize their fullest potential in a society that champions fairness and justice for all.
