Learn MoreOur Definition
What does it mean to create an ecosystem of innovation?
According to the Association of Black Foundation Executives, only 1.8% of philanthropic dollars go to Black-led organizations. Our core belief is that achievement gaps and wealth disparities exist because Black communities have historically been unable to implement their solutions their way.
Our theory of change is grounded in merging technology with culture to develop educational and workforce development projects that accelerate student learning while uplifting families.

A New Way To Collaborate
Digital tools to govern and scale our ecosystems
The explosion of artificial intelligence will play a significant role in reshaping the workforce and creating new opportunities (and challenges) for communities. We develop products that give both municipalities and communities ownership in solutions for students and families. We recognize that scalable solutions exists when communities are fully connected and equipped with the resources to lead.
- Quickly gather stakeholder and parent feedback
- Define and monitor community-level outcomes
- Design educational and workforce projects
- Manage tasks and funding for local programming

Educating the “whole child” means prioritizing the full scope of a student's developmental needs both in and out of schools. We help parents and families organize available resources and develop personalized ecosystems to support learning in financial literacy, mental health, history, STEM, workforce development, and more! .
Only 1.8% of philanthropic dollars go to Black-led organizations. We work with local grassroots and nonprofits of all sizes to help them build capacity and increase funding to better serve students and families.
We help K-12 educators improve attendance and student outcomes by connecting grassroots members with schools and providing community projects that fosters academic improvement.
We partner with Foundations to help them make local investments in community education ecosystems led by grassroots. Our partners agree that student academic outcomes improve when those most impacted have the resources to implement their own solutions.
