About Us
About CCBI
Incorporated in 2024 as a social economy nonprofit, CCBI is a Social Finance Clinic that offers services to support individuals and organizations in building long-term economic stability.
While CCBI's mission is exists to address systemic barriers to economic and employment well-being that disproportionately impact underrepresented communities, prioritizing 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, our services such as tax preparation, accounting, and financial management are open to everyone.
Our community programming is specifically designed to empower equity-deserving groups, including trans, non-binary, and other underrepresented 2SLGBTQ+ communities facing systemic economic exclusion.
We believe that holistic well-being includes economic health and is foundational to quality of life. Access barriers, whether to financial services, education, or employment, can have long lasting effects on health, housing, and mental well-being. We bridge these gaps through inclusive services, advocacy, and collaborative capacity-building.

CCBI vision
Our long-term vision is to build holistic, sustainable, intersectional economic ecosystems that foster community mutual aid, empower entrepreneurs, and equitable job markets.
- We believe that change to our economic realities isn’t possible without unveiling the complex power and structural dynamics that shape economic access.
- We believe that true sustainability requires reconciliation, reparative justice, and the redistribution of resources to address systemic harm.
- We affirm the right to self-determination, access to the resources, knowledge, and support needed to shape futures free from systemic barriers.
