“As stewards of community development, we recognize the critical importance of addressing the racial wealth gap. This divide not only affects individuals and families but also undermines the fabric of our society. CONVERGENCE and the creation of this Fund, offers a powerful framework to tackle this issue head-on. Today, we are not merely making a financial contribution; we are investing in a vision of equity and opportunity. This fund represents more than just bricks and mortar; it symbolizes the foundation upon which dreams are built, futures are secured, and communities thrive.”
