to close the racial wealth gap and build power with communities of color
about integrated capital as the cornerstone of solidarity finance
and our community of investors, funders, partners and entrepreneurs
BII advances economic and racial justice by building a sustainable and inclusive economy where entrepreneurs and communities of color have financial, social, and political power.
With our recently launched BII Fund II, a $20 million integrated capital fund, we are doubling down on our commitment to close the racial wealth gap in Massachusetts and the Northeast.
Our fully deployed BII Fund I invested $6.9 million in 50 for-profit businesses, cooperatives and nonprofits in Eastern Massachusetts.
Integrated capital is a catalyst for economic and racial justice. It is central to every aspect of our work, from our investing strategy and impact management to our field-building work and fund structure.

The minimum for these lower- and middle-income residents, or “non-accredited investors,” is $1,000. That’s a lot of money for the average person, but it’s far smaller than typical venture capital…
Whether you are an investor or a philanthropic donor, your support of BII will have a transformative effect in closing the racial wealth gap and creating an economy that works for everyone.
