Our Approach
Creating the conditions for Black women and women of color to thrive through education, leadership, investments in big ideas, and mutual aid.

We believe equity and opportunity are ignited by access to:
We give funds to individuals to enhance access to education as well as in collaboration with partner organizations and projects working to address systemic inequities.
Investment
We invest in networking, connections, and advice for women of color with great ideas, products, and projects--especially those that strengthen communities. We help to see ideas come to life.
Mentorship
We support fellowships and growth opportunities for emerging leaders at all stages in their professional life by providing access to mentorship, coaching, and professional networks.
Mutual Aid
We offer a crucial safety net
to women who may need to make unexpected personal or professional transitions with small gifts that can make a difference in scaling their work to the next level.
