Valued friends and partners,

The current economic system and its supporting structures are exclusionary by design, and too many communities have been left behind, many of them BIPOC families and individuals.

At Prosperity Now, we have been dedicated to improving economic opportunities for all since 1979. During the past five years, we have deepened our work and expertise in identifying, scaling and amplifying solutions to support marginalized communities, particularly via our Racial Wealth Divide Initiative. More recently, we have completed a comprehensive strategic planning process to address big bet, systemic levers for change that center those most directly impacted by injustice in all aspects of our work.

Today, we are proud to share that the mission of advancing racial and ethnic economic equity is now at the center of everything we do.

This reorientation is moral, critical, and now a guidepost that directs our organization in all areas of our work. I invite you to take a moment to read about our new vision and the strategic process that has led us to this exciting moment in today’s blog entry, “Casting a New Vision for Prosperity.”

To our long-time partners and friends who have supported us in our evolution over the years, we thank you and look forward to many more years of partnership.

To our new friends, welcome! We are actively creating fresh opportunities to engage and connect our field and network, and hope this shift in focus will encourage you to participate in new, re-energized and strategic ways.

If you share in the belief that everyone deserves a chance to reach economic stability, build generational wealth and prosper, please partner with us in this next chapter of the Prosperity Now story.

Take a moment now to visit our Action Center and discover resources to support your advocacy efforts and unique work to advance racial economic justice.

Thank you for joining us in the pursuit of a more equitable society.

In solidarity,

Gary Cunningham
President & CEO
