Policy & Research

We engage in policy efforts that address root causes of inequity in four “Areas of Impact:” Access to Capital, Land-Use, Housing & Ownership, and Leadership Development.

Access to Capital

Our access to capital programming provides capital and business coaching to help low-income, BIPOC entrepreneurs build their businesses and their generational wealth.

$700,000

We deployed over $700,000 in capital to low-income food entrepreneurs and home based businesses, many of whom are street vendors.

$1,000,000

In 2020, we distributed over $1,000,000 in cash assistance and grant dollars to street vendors and small businesses impacted by COVID-19.

300

Over the last year, we’ve worked with over 300 organizations to advocate for low-income families and entrepreneurs impacted by the pandemic.
