Reclaim Our Wealth
What the work addresses
Our work addresses systemic barriers to capital access, property ownership, business development and legacy planning that have long excluded underrepresented communities.
Our mission is to foster a thriving ecosystem of locally driven economic development by supporting individuals and families as agents of change, entrepreneurs, investors and stewards of community wealth. Through culturally informed programs in financial education, cooperative economics, real estate literacy and small business support, we help participants build the knowledge, networks and resources needed to achieve long-term financial stability and community impact.
We serve neighborhoods across Cleveland — including Central, Glenville and Clark-Fulton — with place-based activations, workshops, storytelling events and community wealth-building initiatives.

Leaders of Color Nonprofit Technical Assistance Program
A leadership and capacity-building initiative designed to support nonprofit leaders of color committed to creating meaningful change in their communities. Through workshops and hands-on learning, participants receive training in three critical areas of nonprofit success: strategic planning, fundraising and branding.
Leaders of color often serve on the front lines of community change while navigating limited access to funding, technical support and professional development. This program bridges those gaps with practical tools, peer learning and access to resources.
Participants will gain
- Training in strategic planning, fundraising and organizational branding
- Tools to strengthen nonprofit sustainability and growth
- Opportunities to connect with fellow nonprofit leaders and changemakers
- Access to resources and best practices that support long-term success
- A stronger network of support within the Greater Cleveland nonprofit ecosystem
