Community Wealth Building Through Art, Space, and Story

Community wealth building for nonprofits takes center stage in this lively discussion, as Lauren Turner Hines of the André Cailloux Center shares how art, history, ownership, and earned revenue can become a powerful operating model. This is a deeply strategic conversation for nonprofit leaders thinking about sustainability, capital campaigns, cultural infrastructure, and the future of community-centered growth.
Lauren Turner Hines, Founding ‘Envisionist’ and Executive Lead of the André Cailloux Center in New Orleans, takes us inside a 114-year-old former church on historic Bayou Road, the oldest thoroughfare in the city and a corridor with deep roots in Black commerce, freedom, and cultural leadership. Named for Captain André Cailloux, one of the first Black officers in the United States military, the Center is using storytelling as both mission and business strategy.
The conversation moves quickly from history into operating reality. Lauren explains how the Center provides affordable space for Black-led performing arts organizations, hosts performances, convenings, workshops, and community events, and builds earned revenue through tours and programming. At the center of the model is a clear business question: how can a nonprofit’s physical space create direct value for the community around it?
Lauren offers a sharp answer through the Cailloux Community Equity Fund, a developing model that would allow nearby residents to hold community shares in the building and benefit from quarterly revenue share. As she puts it, “Relationships are the asset.” She also shares her five-year vision: “I hope for a direct community wealth transfer in the multimillions and for art and culture to be the catalyst for that.”
This conversation also explores nonprofit capital campaign strategy, founder succession, board leadership, technology systems, and how organizations can avoid letting knowledge, donor relationships, and institutional context live with one person.
For nonprofit executives, fundraisers, board members, arts leaders, and community builders, this is a fresh look at sustainability that moves beyond survival and toward shared economic power!
