How We Make an Impact

Our work is guided by four core pillars designed to create a holistic and sustainable model for growth. Each pillar represents a critical component of a thriving city, from a robust economy to an empowered and connected community. Together, these focus areas allow us to build a prosperous future for all of Santa Ana.

Economic Development

Driving Economic Growth

We champion policies and initiatives that attract new businesses, support the expansion of existing enterprises, and create high-quality jobs for Santa Ana residents. A robust economy is the bedrock of a thriving community.

Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Fostering a Culture of Innovation

We believe in the power of new ideas. We support the entrepreneurial spirit of Santa Ana by connecting innovators with the resources they need to succeed and by fostering a dynamic environment where creativity can flourish.

Community Empowerment

Building a Stronger Community

A truly strong community is one where residents are connected, engaged, and proud of where they live. By investing in the programs that build social cohesion and create a deep sense of belonging, we strengthen the very fabric of Santa Ana.

Education & Workforce Development

Investing in Future Talent

We believe that investing in our students is a direct investment in Santa Ana’s future. We focus on creating links between our schools and the business community through strategic partnerships to support programs that build a skilled, local workforce ready for the high-demand jobs of tomorrow.
