Demographics and Financial Goals

The Need is Great.

We are based out of Birmingham, Alabama, which is home to one of the most influential campaigns of the Civil Rights Movement. The Movement was a fight for equality; however, today economic inequalities still exist.

 

African Americans make up 74% of Birmingham’s population and 42% of Jefferson County.

 

Did you know business revenues in Jefferson County come in at around $100 Billion collectively? However, Black-owned businesses make up less than 1% of Jefferson County’s revenue.

 

We have a way to bridge the gap by supporting Black-owned businesses and fostering growth in the African American community. Looking ahead, we plan to:

 

Raise $2,000,000 in Individual and Institutional Sponsorships

 

Facilitate Partnerships that Support Business Development and Education

 

Annually Grant $250,000

 

Develop a stronger ecosystem for social, service organizations serving the Black community.
