Our theory of change is rooted in the belief that power is sustained when politics, people, and procurement work in alignment. By investing in Black political leadership, we shape the policies and decisions that define our communities. By developing and connecting people — donors, organizers, strategists, and candidates — we strengthen the trust that fuels long-term impact. And by shifting procurement to prioritize Black-owned firms, vendors, and consultants, we ensure that resources driving progress circulate within our own ecosystems. When these three forces move together, we create a self-reinforcing cycle of investment, opportunity, and representation — transforming moments of visibility into lasting political and economic power.
