We amplify the voices of under-represented leaders by investing in holistic solutions that address both the causes and impacts of poverty.
We take a holistic approach to advancing economic and social mobility by investing in solutions that address both the root causes and immediate effects of poverty. A key part of this work is uplifting historically underrepresented leaders by providing the funding, training, and support they need to drive lasting change.
We invest $250,000 annually to uplift underrepresented leaders and close racial, gender, and resource gaps in nonprofit leadership. We support 10 high-impact organizations across the Greater Triangle with $25,000 each.
