Mandela Partners

Mandela Partners Building local wealth by sourcing from sustainable farmers, creating affordable food access points.

Founded in West Oakland, California, Mandela Partners was established to fill a gap that was created through deeply rooted inequities--a legacy of redlining and economic disinvestment, and barriers to opportunities for entrepreneurs. We do this by weaving together several areas of work: sourcing from sustainable family farmers, creating accessible and affordable healthy food access points, support

ing local food business creation and expansion, and increasing capital for BIPOC entrepreneurs. Together, we envision a future where small sustainable farmers are invested in, local food enterprises are central to community wealth building, and residents are thriving.
