55 Sustainability Report 2021 Inclusive Growth | One Million Black Women One Million Black Women builds on the key lessons that we’ve learned through decades of listening, learning, and engaging with Black communities: • Connection with communities is critical. We are focused on making a real impact by listening and learning from lived experiences of the community and building long-term relationships to facilitate sustainable change. • Leveraging our research and voice can make a difference. When our research can both identify opportunity and leverage our voice to mobilize others around that opportunity, we can make a greater impact. • Driving access to capital is important, but it is not enough. Changing the economic disadvantages that Black women face requires a multidimensional commitment across the public and private sector that span education, healthcare, financial health, and communities. • Commercial capital is key, but we also need to leverage the full spectrum of resources available to us — including strategic philanthropy and partnership. With this program, we pair $10 billion in direct investment capital and $100 million in philanthropic capital to drive holistic solutions that help meet our goal of impacting the lives of at least one million Black women.
