Boston Impact Initiative

Boston Impact Initiative (BII) is a nonprofit impact investing fund working to build a future where entrepreneurs of color and their communities have the financial, social and political power to create a sustainable, inclusive and equitable economy for generations to come. We invest in the people, places, and enterprises in and beyond Massachusetts who share our vision of an equitable economy and need access to catalytic capital. In doing so, we’re helping communities of color build productive capacity, fuel entrepreneurial growth and wealth creation, share in decision-making, multiply impact, and together, help close the racial wealth divide.

Boston Impact Initiative and Black Economic Council of Massachusetts, Inc. are excited to announce our first co-investment in And Still We Rise, LLC, a liberation-focused mental health and consulting practice providing therapy, coaching, and consulting services to individuals and organizations. This is the first investment and co-investment of BECMA Community Investments (BCI), led by one of our Emerging Fund Manager Cohort Alumni, Kofi Callender!  
 
This moment marks a significant milestone in our partnership with BECMA, and we are excited to continue in this work together and witnessing the impact of dedicated entrepreneurs like Dr. Natasha Holmes, Psy.D. (She/Her).
