CACS 2021 MOVEMENT SUPPORT FUNDS WILL HELP THEM IN TRANSITIONING FROM AN INFORMAL NETWORK SPARKED BY THE ECONOMY OF FRANCESCO, TO A MOVEMENT OF ECONOMY LEADERS AND CAPITAL STEWARDS WHO ARE BETTER CONNECTED WITH ONE ANOTHER AND WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO TRANSFORM THE ECONOMY. OVERALL, THEIR GOAL IS TO HELP BRING CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING (CST) TO LIFE BY BUILDING A COLLABORATIVE THAT SUPPORTS NEW INVESTMENT AND ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES THROUGH EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS, RELATIONSHIP-BUILDING AND ACCOMPANIMENT, THOUGHT LEADERSHIP AND MOVEMENT BUILDING ACTIVITIES. THEY WORK WITH INSTITUTIONS TO CREAT ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIC AND ORGANIZATIONAL MODELS.
