This season, the New Impact Fund is deeply grateful for the business owners, advisors, and partners who make this work real. Together—with Cohort and Supporting Members, community investors, and foundations—we’re backing Black, Indigenous, Latino/a, and Asian entrepreneurs who are growing companies, creating quality jobs, and shifting who holds power in our local economy. These stories reflect more than impact metrics—they show what happens when capital is courageous, relationships are reciprocal, and opportunity is intentionally shared. 

This season’s newsletter shares powerful stories of growth—from J. Benson Construction’s job creation to Revel & Flourish’s journey of expansion through strategic advising and support. It also marks the launch of Cohort 5, a group committed to reimagining how capital can support equity in under-resourced communities. See how capital, relationships, and trust are helping Black-owned businesses thrive.

This issue highlights the momentum of BIPOC-owned businesses—from a Taylor’d Cosmetology graduate turning passion into a thriving practice to a CEO-to-CEO partnership reshaping what support can look like. It’s a glimpse into what happens when capital, trust, and deep collaboration come together to grow lasting wealth in BIPOC communities.
