CHANGE LIVES

TOGETHER, WE CAN BREAK THE CYCLE

The Black Foundation is dedicated to the economic advancement of minorities and veterans. We have one ambitious goal: to break the cycle of poverty in marginalized communities. And while the problem is huge, we do it through education, mentorship and access to affordable housing. If we work together, we believe everyone should have a purposeful and clear traction in a career they love.

OUR APPROACH

More than a donation

Through partnerships, donations and volunteering, we deeply value our donors and promise 100% transparency. With reporting and regularly updated initiatives, you’ll see your dollars at work.
