Join the Sabo Center’s Community Changemakers and the East Phillips Neighborhood Institute’s Finance & Develeopment Director, Daniel Colten Schmidt, for a talk about doing finance and fundraising work for the Roof Depot site and EPNI. 
Daniel writes grants and speaks with philanthropists and investors; while also striving to protect the neighborhood from predatory financial interests. He studied Ecological Economics at Hampshire College in Massachusetts. As he got involved with the EPNI movement in the winter of 2022, he began to realize how colonialism has seeped into the physical infrastructures and the psychic landscapes of our society. He started seeing the Roof Depot as a pressure point for a wholesale paradigm shift. His adventures with EPNI have brought him to learn about the viability of alternative economies and the necessity of reparations. He feels honored every day to help build this new and real attempt at equity.
