IRS990/Desc0Community Wealth Building Initiative - We run a trio of programs (WEPOWER Business Accelerator, WEPOWER Investment Fund, and Kiva Hub 0-Interest loans) that develop Black and Latinx St. Louis entrepreneurs with the goals of sparking economic development and creating living-wage jobs. In 2021, we disbursed 15+ interest free loans (up to $15k) through the St. Louis Kiva Hub. In 2021, we also launched our $1.5 million investment fund, which will provide Black and Latinx-owned businesses access to capital and business coaching with flexible, founder-friendly payment terms. In addition, we had 10 local Black and Latinx-owned businesses complete our accelerator in 2021; each participant received 100+ hours of business coaching, investment readiness training, marketing and branding consultation, bookkeeping support, and mentorship over a 6 month period.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Power Building Academies: Power Building Academy is a 3 month program that provides key experiences in leadership development, systems analysis, and grassroots organizing for residents seeking to improve the regions economic and early childhood education (ECE) systems. In 2021, we trained 21 local residents through the program. In tandem with our Power Building Academy and in partnership with others, we have also started a coalition for economic justice, designed policy platforms, and led advocacy campaigns including one to spark equitable allocation of resources to early childhood education centers and another to address impending school closings within the Saint Louis Public Schools.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0Chisholms Chair Fellowship - The Chisholms Chair Fellowship is a 3-month leadership development experience for Black and Latina women in St. Louis who are interested in pursuing publicly elected and appointed civic positions. In 2021, we successfully prepared 13 women for public leadership.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1Tomorrow Builders Fellowship - The Tomorrow Builders Fellowship is a project-based program that activates community members to innovate the systems that impact them. The inaugural fellowship culminated in the publishing of The Playbook for Reimagined + Redesigned Early Childhood Education, a report of 17 community-designed solutions to benefit St. Louis area youth and families. During the process of curating the report, the fellows engaged over 20,000 community members. We are on track to achieve high impact policy changes that can improve family wellbeing through the ongoing implementation of the reports solutions. In 2021, we organized a diverse group of stakeholders, including city leadership, to collectively plan and reimagine a more equitable K12 education system that centered the wellbeing, academic achievement, and future of Black and Brown children. This collaborative effort was started, but then paused at the end of 2021.
