BIG Equity Fund will be the leading funder on the cutting edge of redefining how funding decisions are made in addressing social justice and racial equity issues. The purpose
of the fund is to recognize the assets and wealth that exists within the Black community in Greensboro and serve as a vehicle for Black families, individuals, and organizations to leave a legacy that will benefit the Black community for years to come. By deploying various forms of social, moral, intellectual, reputational, and financial capital, the BIG Equity Fund will accelerate the community and economic progress for Greensboro’s Black Community and address issues of social justice and inequity.
