The BUILD Initiative™

Building Up Individuals & Local Development — six interconnected domains that form the foundation of everything B2MC does in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Our Framework

A theory of change, not just a program list

The BUILD Initiative™ is the organizing framework for all of B2MC's work. It articulates our belief that lasting community transformation requires investment across multiple domains simultaneously — that siloed interventions addressing one issue at a time are insufficient to produce lasting change.

Each domain represents a critical dimension of community capacity. Together, they form a comprehensive framework for individual and community flourishing in Bed-Stuy and beyond.

Six Domains

The pillars of community capacity

Every B2MC program maps to one or more of these domains. Every partnership is evaluated against them. Every outcome is measured through them.
