All Raise

BLCK VC

All Raise, a nonprofit organization focused on increasing gender equity in venture capital and the startup ecosystem more broadly, serves as the fiscal sponsor for BLCK VC, a 501(c)(3)-pending nonprofit organization that equips Black investors with the access, education, and community they need to accelerate their careers in venture capital. This grant supports the engagement of an external consultant for the creation of a strategic plan for BLCK VC to support their mission of increasing Black representation in venture capital, to push the industry to become more inclusive and diverse, and to achieve their goal to increase the percentage of Black investors and Black partners in venture capital. The refinement and development of their strategic plan will also support existing programs offering help to individuals, from college students to senior executives, by providing educational and community-building events to connect, educate, and uplift the broader Black investor community.
