Deploying Capital

With an oversubscribed fund of $1.2 million, deploy $613,000 over the past year into 8 black food businesses in New York. The heart of our investment process is our community-led decision-making body, called an Investment Committee. We work with this committee of 12 black farmers and food businesses to collectively develop financial education, investment, and decentralized decision-making skills to inform funding decisions;
