About the TRIE Neighborhood Initiative  

The Taskforce for Racial Inclusion and Equity (TRIE) Neighborhood Initiative is a coalition and capacity-building program run by the CEC, in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Equity and the Young Men’s Initiative.

This initiative was designed with the goals of strengthening local infrastructure to respond to community needs, promoting community building and social cohesion, and maintaining a real-time feedback loop with the City. The CEC achieves these goals by funding community-based organizations to serve as TRIE Neighborhood Administrators (TNAs), which includes building local coalitions to expand access to civic engagement and participatory democracy through programs like The People's Money.

Under the leadership of the TNAs, coalition members — including nonprofits, elected offices, faith institutions, small businesses, civic leaders, and more — collaborate throughout the year to increase access to critical resources and information to empower their communities. These networks play a critical role in ensuring New Yorkers who have been historically underserved are active participants in The People's Money process.
