Our Initiatives
As our region’s think-and-do tank focused on equitable and inclusive growth, the Economy League’s programs are designed to cultivate informed and collaborative leadership across sectors, use data and research to inform decision-making, foster a culture of civic experimentation and innovation, and open doors to civic participation
We Think, We Do -
All for Equitable & Inclusive Growth
Greater Philadelphia Leadership Exchange: GPLEX
GPLEX has been helping to build civic muscle since 2005, convening diverse, cross-sector, emerging and established leaders for highly curated learning and networking experiences.
Philadelphia Anchors for Growth and Equity: PAGE
We’re leveraging institutional purchasing power to help local and diverse businesses create generational wealth and jobs in underserved communities.
Impact Labs
Despite its long technological and political innovation history, Philadelphia has not been known for civic innovation. We decided to change that by adapting a ‘fail fast’ model from the tech world - regular innovation challenges designed to elicit promising ideas from everyday innovators in our communities.
Research
Since 1909 the Economy League has been our region’s trusted advisor, producing actionable, independent intelligence to guide regional decision-making.
Civic Consulting
The Economy League deploys its expertise to aid nonprofit and public sector partners with quantitative and qualitative research on a contract basis.
