THE FOUNDATION OF WHAT WE DO

Our work is directed towards system change and engages the following focus areas.

Capacity Building

Through initiatives like resource and Sustainability Summit, we invest in Black leadership and organizational capacity.

Narrative Change

Through efforts like Boundary Breakers, we are lifting up powerful and varied examples of what Black innovation looks like beyond the clickbait and stereotypes.

Advocacy

The Congressional Caucus on Black Innovation, launched as a direct result of our advocacy, is one way we’re leveraging our power and having our say to drive generational change. 

Research

Through initiatives like the Black Innovation Census, we are delivering key insights that enable the development of a smart, high-performance ecosystem.
