Jessica David

Social entrepreneur building community: connections, wealth, resilience, experiences, and infrastructure.

Through Good Worth Working For LLC, I support stewards of community and agents of transformation. I have experience leading strategy and change processes, designing programs, launching initiatives, convening large and small conversations, securing funding for projects, and managing people. I’ve worked closely and collaboratively with community organizations, board members, donors, and public officials.

I co-founded Local Return to build community wealth and the Rhode Island Community Investment Cooperative, home to Rhode Island’s first-ever community investment fund. I serve as president of both organizations.

Previously, I was Executive Vice President of Strategy & Community Investments at the Rhode Island Foundation, where I led strategic initiatives, grant programs, evaluation, capacity-building, and impact investing. 

I am a Master of Divinity candidate at Harvard Divinity School (expected May 2026), where I am studying the intersection of spirituality and money. I hold an MBA from Bryant University and a BA in political science from American University.
