What is Impact on the Hill?
Impact on the Hill is a national initiative that aligns grassroots innovation with state/federal policy. We will bring community leaders, philanthropic changemakers, and industry experts to Capitol Hill for opportunities of civic alignment, network activation, and economic visioning.
This is a live campaign powered by the DEG1 Ecosystem.
We invite you to join with us to advance solutions:
Digital Equity and Broadband Access
We prioritize closing the digital divide by expanding high-speed internet access and investing in digital infrastructure. Our goal is to ensure that every community—especially underserved and rural areas—has equitable access to affordable broadband, digital literacy training, and modern technology tools.
Small, Woman & Minority-Owned Business
We support entrepreneurship and economic resilience through targeted programs and policy advocacy for small, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses. This includes equitable access to capital, technical assistance, and inclusion in public and private procurement opportunities.
Sustainable Land & Housing Development
We champion sustainable and inclusive development that addresses housing affordability, combats displacement, and advances environmental justice. Through green building practices and equitable zoning, we work toward thriving communities that balance growth with environmental responsibility.
Public Health and Wellness
Promoting holistic health is central to community resilience. We focus on access to quality healthcare, mental health support, wellness programs, and safe recreational spaces to improve the physical and emotional well-being of residents across all generations.
Workforce Development and Green Jobs
Through targeted training, policy advocacy, and catalytic investment, we empower underserved communities to fill quality jobs in clean energy, climate-resilient infrastructure, urban agriculture, and green tech. Our mission is to build career pathways where marginalized workers become stewards of the planet.

What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into a full-scale national platform—with community leaders, policy champions, business innovators, and nonprofit trailblazers converging to address the real issues facing America’s communities: access, ownership, and opportunity.
