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.
