Mission & Focus Areas
Mission: The foundation's mission is to promote thoughtful analysis, discussions, and actions that will change present-day existence. The foundation addresses significant disparities affecting the Black community, which represents 13% of the American population but 40% of the prison population and 27% of people living in poverty. These disparities extend across education, healthcare, and other social aspects of life.
The foundation's approach is informed by the Ghanian concept of Sankofa—"go back and get it"—symbolized by a bird with its head turned backward while moving forward, carrying a precious egg. The foundation frames this precious egg as the history of the original people of the earth, rather than a history of slavery, viewing knowledge and investment in original history as a path toward a more prosperous and equitable future.
Vision: The foundation envisions that the Black community will embrace a journey toward a more prosperous and equitable future through active involvement with those impacted by economic and social issues.
Funding Focus Areas: Education, Philanthropy, Voluntarism & Grantmaking, and Human Services.
