THE COLLECTIVE

The Collective brings together individuals and organizations across a range of sectors, communities, and racial identities to create tangible opportunities to increase equitable access to capital. Through cross-racial and multi-sector partnerships and relationships, the Collective creates pathways for capital to flow from wealthy, white communities with the specific aim to close the racial wealth gap. 
As a grassroots organization, our mission depends on individuals and organizations coming together to collectively create impact. We are grateful for our growing network of advisors, partners, and workshop facilitators and alumni.
