Our funding strategy focuses on businesses and fund managers that are owned by these individuals, as well as those dedicated to serving and improving their communities.

Importantly, our fund operates on the principles of inclusivity and equity; we do not discriminate against any individual, entrepreneur, or fund manager.

Company Description The Minority Women Capital Foundation strives to invest into and to empower women and traditionally disadvantages communities in the US and globally. Minority Women Capital focuses on enhancing the American and the global economies by empowering the fast-expanding population of minority women entrepreneurs and the female community in general, across all races and genders, while investing into emerging and proven fund managers, deal sponsors and entrepreneurs of black, Hispanic, Asian, indigenous and other minority or people of color descent, veterans, female entrepreneurs and fund managers, people with disabilities, and businesses and funds located in and focused on disadvantaged areas and communities. We do not discriminate and invest in both men and women across all races based on merit first, as delivering a solid return to our investors is our number one priority, but we consider impact investing and diversity to be good business as it opens up projects, possibilities, creativity and markets both in the United States and globally that traditional firms have not been able to tap into, while also empowering a whole new generations to build and to contribute to a stronger a more resilient and a more robust economy both in the US and globally. Just the combined US "people of color" markets in America is over $3.9 Trillion in buying power, and in fact is a part of a much larger global majority market that currently represent approximately eighty per cent (80%) of the world's population and women control an estimated $31.8 trillion of worldwide spending and $97 trillion or 32% of the world’s wealth and unlocking and empowering these markets will release trillions of dollars into the global economy. These women serve as revenue generators for families, communities, the nation and the global community as a whole. Wealthy women of color are known for their confidence in investing and making bold decisions. Their experiences, vision, and approach to leadership offer unique platforms for philanthropy, investments, and business operations. The fields of investment and finance are still markedly male-dominated ones:?only nine percent of fund managers in the United States were women, while in banking, women comprised less than a third of?senior vice president and C-suite positions and this shortage of visible role models only perpetuates the uneven dynamic between men and women, let alone women of Asian, Hispanic, African-American, indigenous and other minority descent, in the field both in the US and globally and is just as pronounced among investor financed female entrepreneurs. High net worth donors of color, and especially minority women entrepreneurs,?have been a “transformational change in social philanthropy, entrepreneurship and investing. Although women may represent a small number of the world’s ultra-high-net-worth investors, it is currently the highest it has ever been and that number will only continue to grow.

One Million Black Women: Closing the Wealth Gap is a Goldman Sachs initiative investing $10 billion in direct capital and $100 million in philanthropic support over the next decade to help narrow opportunity gaps Black women face across several outcomes including health, housing, education, and access to capital. Grounded in research, the initiative forges partnerships with Black women–led organizations and other groups to address the disproportionate gender and racial biases that Black women have faced for generations and that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Goldman Sachs and the Urban Institute launched the One Million Black Women Research Partnership in 2022. This learning community engaged with seven impact pillars―health care, job creation and workforce advancement, education, housing, digital connectivity, financial health, and access to capital―to guide the partnership's collaborative work.

Belonging to Powerful Communities Women investors express a strong desire to be part of communities that amplify their experiences and empower not only women but also other diverse individuals. Connecting with like-minded individuals who share similar passions, challenges, and learning opportunities is a powerful driver for personal and professional growth. Events and initiatives designed to bring women together can foster collaboration and knowledge sharing. These gatherings provide platforms for renowned thought leaders and experts to share insights and inspire women investors. Building connections and partnerships within these communities can lead to innovative ventures and collaborations that go beyond individual financial success.
