SCOPE OF WORK
Project HOPE
SCOPE OF WORK
FY25
Project HOPE Steering Committee
Engage community partners (government agencies, businesses, educational institutions, and nonprofit
organizations) with the intent to assess and address community needs (brain health, financial security,
college access, community engagement, and creating strong referral networks for community leaders).
• Serves as an advisory council to the City's Office of Shared Prosperity & Neighborhood Support.
• This contributes to the City of Dubuque's goal of a robust local economy for jobs with economic
prosperity.
• Opportunity Dubuque, a partnership initially led by Project HOPE, connects underemployed
community members with free job training.
Immigration
In partnership with the Dubuque Religious Sister's Collaborative and other local partners, build off of the
findings of the Immigration Community Assessment rolled out in June of 2023 by facilitating the Better
Together Committee. The Better Together Committee enables collective action around issues facing
immigrants, empowers immigrant populations in our region, and addresses gaps in support and services
throughout our community. The Committee will focus on a series of priority projects, many of which are
connected to economic mobility.
Education Programming and the Dubuque College Access Network (DCAN)
Through our Education program continue the efforts of our established Local College Access Network
(LCAN), which is concentrated on increasing post -secondary educational attainment rates, especially for
low-income, minority, and first -generation students in Dubuque.
Economic Opportunity
Cultivate economic self-sufficiency via expanded use of EITC and VITA programs and enhanced
connections to financial pathways via asset development, debt reduction, and savings. This translates
into greater financial security for our residents and in turn, our community.
Provide free, volunteer income tax/Earned Income Tax Credit assistance.
Build community in the Washington neighborhood through leveraging the community garden, local
events, and improved engagement of residents.
Engage with grassroots organizations and groups in order to try to build community empowerment
within underserved communities. Utilize participation in the Urban Institute's Mobility Action Learning
Network in order to facilitate this work.
Data
Provide community stakeholders with data on economic opportunity, poverty, education, and other
areas related to the priorities of Project HOPE. Host an annual Data Walk in order to bring community
members together to discuss important local data.
Partner with the Office of Shared Prosperity & Neighborhood Support to maintain and update the ALICE
Data Set for Dubuque to help show cost of living within the community.
Food Provider Network
Convene a network of local food providers to help coordinate community resources used to combat
food insecurity.
Identify potential areas for increased collaboration and opportunities to fill existing gaps within
Dubuque related to food provision, such as providing special needs or culturally appropriate food items.
Investigate the potential for a digital food app to help connect families with available food sources.
AIIofUsDubuque Campaign
Maintain the resources and materials produced for the AIIofUsDubuque website and investigate the
viability of leveraging the site to share and utilize stories of diverse individuals from Dubuque who are
helping give back to our community.
Restorative Strategies
Support the restorative justice program as an alternative to the juvenile justice system by helping set
Dubuque County teens on a path to becoming productive citizens and finding future success. With a
focus on middle and high school -age youth, the Restorative Strategies program is a collaboration among
civic institutions, service providers and volunteers that addresses accountability for rule -breaking,
reparation, reconciliation, and, ultimately, reintegration with the community.
Every Child Reads (ECR)
Continue to bring together key stakeholders for our Every Child Reads (ECR) initiative, focused on
promoting early childhood reading proficiency throughout our community. ECR engages in collaborative
programming around summer learning, school attendance, school readiness, and increasing the
availability of books throughout the community.
We will also hold discussions with key partners and community members about the potential for a
Youth Summit focused on improving young people's prosperity.
Brain Health and Housing Intervention
Engage with community stakeholders around supporting the City's first responders in connecting
residents to needed brain health and housing interventions during crisis situation. This effort is being
conducted in partnership with the Dubuque Police Department. Our work is part of a community -wide
response to a brain health needs assessment conducted in 2016 by Project HOPE.
MIT Partnership
Continue to partner with the MIT Sloan School of Business to bring graduate students to Dubuque in
order to conduct research into local needs related to workforce and economic mobility.
Equity Index
Partner with the City's Office Shared Prosperity & Neighborhood Support and the Office of Equity &
Human Rights to consider the potential of launching an Equity Index for Dubuque. This Equity Index
would use disaggregated data to help track our community's progress on addressing the disparities in
how Dubuque residents are able to succeed and thrive in our city.
BankOn
Revisit the potential of an affiliate partnership with the national organization BankOn.
Grants Collaborative
Discuss with partner organizations the potential for a Grants Collaborative, allowing local organizations
to leverage grant writing capacity in Dubuque to identify potential funding sources and assist with grant
writing and the grant application process.

Connecting
people.
Strengthening
community.
Inclusive Dubuque
w
Everyone deserves to live in a place
where they are respected, valued and
engaged in civic life.
This philosophy guides the Inclusive
Dubuque network. Since 2012, our
diverse group of partners has worked
together to drive transformational
change in Dubuque by reimagining
systems, fostering a culture of inclusion,
and advancing justice and social equity
in all areas of community life.
Why It Matters
How It Works
Our region is growing more diverse. However,
many minority communities in Dubuque have
historically lacked access to resources that enable
them to thrive. Furthermore, residents of diverse
backgrounds have experienced hostilities that
make them feel unwelcome. To drive economic
growth, retain residents and affirm the humanity
of all people, everyone must feel welcome and
have the ability to achieve their full potential.
Our Unique Role
We are conveners and collaborators, facilitating
important conversations and developing systemic
solutions to equity issues, such as:
• Preparing minority and first -generation college
students for careers.
• Improving access to health and wellness
resources like brain health services.
• Bridging language and cultural barriers
so immigrants can fully participate in the
community.
• Preparing, attracting and retaining a diverse
workforce.
Hosted by the Community Foundation of Greater
Dubuque, Inclusive Dubuque leverages relationships
with nonprofits, government entities, businesses and
generous community members to realize a shared
vision for Dubuque: A vibrant and inclusive region
with resources and opportunities for all.
f
Relationships and community knowledge are
at the root of our work. Our partners are local
residents and leaders who, through meetings,
learning opportunities and workshops,
identify ways to drive equitable opportunities
for all people.
Our Accomplishments
• Created Dubuque's first Community Equity
Profile in 2015 and updated it in 2023;
engaged over 3,500 people in the process
across both years.
• In partnership with a group of local religious
sisters, led and published the Immigration
Community Assessment, looking at resources
available to local immigrant residents.
• Established the Rural Equity Network to
strengthen collaboration among community
partners to build informed and equitable
rural communities.
• Formed the Business Leader Equity Cohort
for local executives to build a diverse and
inclusive workforce.
• Published guides focused on building
equitable, inclusive communities and
workplaces, including the Dubuque Cultural
Resource Guide, DEI Toolkit and Workplace
Disability Inclusion Guide.

SCOPE OF WORK
Inclusive Dubuque
SCOPE OF WORK
FY25
Inclusive Dubuque Network
The Inclusive Dubuque Network stakeholders continue to gather, providing an opportunity for network
partners to share updates on DEI training opportunities, discuss recent local and national DEI issues, and
share personal or organizational stories of their DEI challenges and successes. At each gathering 20-30
partners attend these network meetings. This year we are working on the best strategy to continue the
work and create a greater impact through this network.
Business Leader Equity Cohort and Employer Inclusion Council
This group of executive level leaders (Presidents, C-Level executives, and business owners) and regional
action network made up of human resource professionals and managers continue to gather on a
quarterly basis to discuss the impact that the changing demographics have in recruiting and retaining
minority employees for their organizations and to our community.
DEI Toolkit
We at the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque are on our own journey to incorporate diversity,
equity, and inclusion (DEI) concepts into our work. We have collected many resources and learning tools
used in our DEI workshops for team members, and we are pleased to share them with any organization
seeking to deepen its staff's understanding of these important issues. This is a living resource that is
continuously updated and is available online.
Community Racial Equity Profile
In 2023, CFGD completed a second iteration of this Equity Profile, leveraging local data, educational
panels, surveys, and community dialogues to engage a diverse range of Dubuque residents on topics like
housing, education, and health. All the data and conversations during this work guide us around the
question of equity and whether the systems in our community are enabling all residents to thrive, no
matter who they are. And by comparing data and responses with similar feedback from 2015, we
highlighted the persistent structural roots that lead to ongoing disparities, as well as identifying areas of
growth and reform that have taken place over the last 7 years. This equity profile will continue to guide
our work moving forward.
Julien Dubuque International Film Festival (JDIFF) Sponsorship
We've continued to be a supporter of the JDIFF, sponsoring films that highlight equity and diversity
issues in our community. Use of this new medium (film), in a new venue, sparked conversation with an
expanded audience about the relevance of inclusion and equity in our local community.
Equity Speakers, Communications, and other Equity Training Opportunities
We will identify opportunities to coordinate with partners in the community to bring DEI speakers to
Dubuque.
Disaster Preparedness and Resiliency
We will work on a disaster preparedness and resiliency strategy where equity is at the forefront, making
sure resources are accessible, culturally and linguistically tailored to mitigate disparities. This work, done
in conjunction with local partners, will build trust in our community over time so that BIPOC and
immigrant groups are confident in accessing resources when disaster strikes.
Young Professionals of Color Cohort
We are creating a cohort for professionals of color where they will be able to access local resources, feel
empowered to grow within their professional career and can identify new opportunities to take on
leadership roles within Dubuque. This six-month program will be piloted this year, with the goal of
involving 10-12 young professionals of color living and working in Dubuque. During this six-month
period, these young professionals will engage in a curriculum designed to leverage networks, build
leadership skills and create individualized plans to have deeper engagement within the Dubuque
community.
Black and Brown Girls Mentoring Group
We are collaborating with multiple organizations and stakeholders to pilot a mentoring group dedicated
to mentoring and supporting young girls of color in Dubuque Community School district high schools. In
partnership with DCSD, young girls of color will have the opportunity to engage with volunteers who will
mentor them both formally, through structured conversations and activities, as well as informally by
visiting them and hosting open discussions on school campuses. The goal of this program is to ensure
these young women have trusted and caring adults available to them during the school day, which will
lead to a more engaging educational experience.
Better Together Committee
Inclusive Dubuque continues to support this committee focused on systemic barriers facing our
immigrant populations. Inclusive Dubuque work will focus specifically on greater immigrant participation
in the committee and increasing school attendance among our immigrant population with a focus on
our Marshallese students.
Peer -Learning Council (PLC)
Following the PLC becoming inactive during the pandemic due to many of the members leaving
Dubuque, we are looking at the potential of reforming the PLC, making improvements to the groups
structure, and resuming meetings. Potential activities for the PLC include:
• Developing and conducting the Best Practices in DEI Training Series
• Guiding the support for past and future Best Practices participants
• Any other equity educational opportunities, including responses to the community
regarding hate/bias incidents, community conversations, etc.
