"Racial economic disparities have existed throughout the course of time,” said EPI’s Adewale Maye, in an interview with Capital B covering his report Chasing the Dream of Equity. “We’re going back 60 years [since the March on Washington], but these disparities will continue to persist and evolve over time unless we make meaningful gains to addressing and redressing the structural problems.” Important read below: In a Push for Race-Neutral Policies, Black Americans Will Be Left Behind, Experts Fear - Capital B (capitalbnews.org)

Our new performance scorecard aims to demystify our work and help us be radically open with the people we serve. In creating this scorecard, we came up with 12 key indicators that tell us how we're doing as an organization. One of these key indicators is “Reduce Racial Wealth Gaps." We know it’s easier to build wealth when your family already has it, and we know that historical injustices have enormous, lasting effects on many people — particularly our Native American and Black communities. In 2020, we raised $100 million through social impact bonds to create two community trust funds ($50 million each), designed and operated by two steward organizations — Nexus Community Partners and NDN Collective. In 2021, we committed another $50 million through our regular grantmaking programs to help reduce racial wealth gaps. That commitment originally was planned to be a five-year goal. We achieved it in two. Even though we've reached our milestone, we're still looking for opportunities for Black, Indigenous and people of color in the region to thrive in our economy and build wealth for themselves and those to follow. Learn more about this key indicator and why it's important to us: https://lnkd.in/gHnfvwsT

To close Black History Month, we’re honored to share three CO.created short films on the Dearfield Fund For Black Wealth. The first is episode 1 in “the creation of home” series, featuring the Johnson Family. After helping 178 families with down-payment assistance, the Dearfield Fund has sharpened its strategy to better serve Black women, who made up 60% of the fund’s borrowers as of late 2023. The Dearfiled Fund acknowledges the incredible potential in Black women like Nicole Johnson, who represent the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs in the U.S. What’s more, by raising $20 million in investments, the Dearfiled Fund believes it can pass along $50-$75 million in generational wealth for Black families like Nicole’s in Denver’s Black communities. Watch the full film, and learn about the home the Johnsons are creating here: https://lnkd.in/g5mj_Yif Click on this hashtag — #DearfieldFundBlackHistory — to view all three Dearfield films as they roll out this week. #blackhistorymonth #homeownership #downpaymentassistance #equityinvesting #racialequity #investing #sustainableinvesting #racialwealthgap #restorativepractices #housing #housingaffordability #blackwealth

We've dedicated a new section of our website (find it here 👉 https://bit.ly/47tgLtY) to answering your questions about how we work. Why? Because we're working to be radically open about how and why we do our grantmaking the way we do. Most of the questions came through community outreach, and we'll be answering more as they come in! One of the most common questions we're asked about our work is: Where does your money come from? All of our revenue comes from what we earn from investing the assets left behind by our founder, Archie Bush. We don’t fundraise or earn money in any other way. And as an institution that came from wealth and grew its wealth over decades, we know that we've benefited within an economy that excluded and harmed others. This was part of our motivation to redistribute $100 million of our foundation’s wealth to Black and Native individuals in our region as a reparative action. We are intentional about investing our assets in ways that align with our mission and values. Have a question about our work? We'd love to answer it. Send it to us here: https://bit.ly/47KiMSm
