Our goal is to provide grants to Black-owned businesses in Kansas City, with a specific interest in businesses that operate in low income areas.
We know this will create more jobs and convert an economically disadvantaged area into an area of economic opportunity.
We aim to assist in creating generational wealth, while also reducing instances of poverty related crime and violence in our communities.
