to close the racial wealth gap and build power with communities of color.
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.
