KANSAS CITY G.I.F.T.
GENERATING INCOME FOR TOMORROW BY INVESTING IN BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES TODAY
WHAT IS KC G.I.F.T.?
Generating Income for Tomorrow (KC G.I.F.T.) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization aiming to dismantle the systemic barriers that have historically excluded Black entrepreneurs from pathways to wealth and ownership. By investing in Black-owned businesses east of Troost, we help transform communities shaped by systemic disinvestment into thriving centers of innovation, ownership, and pride.
BUILD. GROW. CONNECT.
Resources, funding, and community are key for moving any business forward. Whether you’re a brand new entrepreneur or you’re ready to take your business to the next level, our numbers prove we can position you for success.
