Fostering Healing.
Looking forward, we have set an ambitious goal to lead a movement that will address one of the greatest challenges of our time: we are committed to help close our region’s racial wealth gap within the next decade.
As early leaders in the fight to address racial injustices and disparities in the Greater Washington region, we believe it is imperative to focus on the root causes of economic injustice. We firmly believe that by increasing economic mobility and building community wealth, we can not only help our communities of color begin to heal; but we can help our entire region to prosper!
“We believe that by changing the prospects for how our Black and Brown neighbors generate, sustain, and share wealth, we will ultimately improve the quality of life for everyone who lives, works, and raises a family in this region.”
In celebration of our 50th anniversary and bold vision for change, we are embarking on a three-year campaign to accelerate the work to pursue economic justice and shared prosperity for all the people of our region. The Together, We Prosper campaign will help build sustainable funding for community needs today and into the future, while enabling us to put powerful economic strategies to work in the parts of our community experiencing the deepest disparities.
