About El Dorado Forward

El Dorado Forward, Inc. is a 501(c)(4) organization established in September 2026 by local citizens who care deeply about El Dorado and its economic future.

We live here. We work here. We own businesses here. We raise our families here. We invest here. And we care deeply about what comes next for El Dorado. We want El Dorado to remain a place where businesses can grow and future opportunities can be thoughtfully considered.

Like many communities our size, El Dorado has residents who stay actively involved in local businesses, nonprofits, boards and civic organizations. Some individuals involved with El Dorado Forward may also have relationships with other community organizations. They participate in El Dorado Forward as individuals, not on behalf of those organizations.

El Dorado Forward is independently organized and supported by individual contributions. No taxpayer dollars, public employee time, or government resources are or have been used to support El Dorado Forward. The City of El Dorado and El Dorado, Inc. do not fund, direct, sponsor, or participate in our work.

At its core, El Dorado Forward is made up of people who are invested in this community and its future. We care about economic development, thoughtful decision-making and keeping El Dorado positioned to consider the opportunities that may come next.
