Company Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco We are the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco — public servants with a mission to advance the nation’s monetary, financial, and payment systems to build a stronger economy for all Americans. As part of the nation’s central bank, we are committed to understanding and serving the vibrant, expansive communities of the Twelfth District, which covers the nine western states of the U.S. That means we seek and appreciate new perspectives and build opportunities to learn and grow.

At the SF Fed, we approach our work with integrity and a commitment to service.

The Community Engagement and Analysis team works to understand the economic experiences of lower-income households by engaging communities, conducting and sharing research on community development topics, and fostering connections among those working to expand economic opportunity and investment activity to support low- and moderate-income communities in the Twelfth District. Through events, round tables, and one-on-one conversations, the team facilitates dialogue, shared learning, and partnership building across sectors.

• Share Federal Reserve tools and research to inform community development efforts.
• Advise the Community Engagement & Analysis team on Native community development topics and opportunities for convening and representing the team's work with Native-focused audiences to expand networks and build strategic relationships.
