WE BELIEVE that economic development is only successful when it values the contributions of entrepreneurs and communities of color by creating an inclusive environment that recognizes the unique challenges faced by minority businesses and historically disinvested communities.

Our Focus Areas

Creating Competitive Communities

Work with communities to develop holistic approaches for equitable economic growth that is inclusive of minority businesses, marginalized communities and disinvested areas.

Creating On-Ramps for Minority Participation

Help communities assess their sector-based strategies and/or real estate development for inclusive business growth, job creation and workforce development to create actionable inclusive solutions.

Advising Organizations

Consult with mission-driven organizations on their activities, programs, and strategic priorities to reduce racial disparities in outcomes.

Minority entrepreneurs, businesses, and communities are at the core of our work.

We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community.  Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.
