Why We Exist
Black-led organizations receive less funding and, when funded, are resourced at lower amounts.
Shared learning is cost-effective and builds community in a sector that many leaders find isolating.
There is a capacity-building desert in Houston; the limited resources that exist are often not accessible for Black-led organizations (price, location, hours, inclusion and belonging).
