The Highland Project is a coalition of Black women leaders and their allies who are designing and leading solutions that create multi-generational wealth and change for Black communities.

Since 2020, The Highland Project has deployed a new model for closing today’s multi-generational wealth and opportunity gaps — by building and sustaining a cross-sector and intergenerational coalition of Black women leaders and their allies who are redefining wealth for Black communities and the nation.

Our Vision

Building a better America requires we listen to, center, invest in, and sustain Black women.

Through community care, capital, a relentless focus on the future, and allyship, we take a holistic approach to reimagining and creating multi-generational wealth with Black women at the center.

What We Do

We need solutions that sustain leaders and scale multi-generational visions where everyone thrives.

THP has invested in 45 Highland Leaders and their allies on the frontlines of structural reforms impacting wealth creation through spaces to rest, reflect, and dream. This approach is rooted in our core belief that if leaders are sustained, so too is the change they are leading.

Our Impact

We invest in multi-generational visions across four sectors essential to building equitable opportunity.

Since 2020, THP has committed $4.5M in flexible, charitable capital that empowers the Highland Community to imagine and pursue greater possibilities beyond three- and even 10-year time horizons.
