Meanwhile, national policies, such as the Homestead Act or GI Bill, have disproportionately benefited and subsidized white wealth-building. And, because wealth begets wealth, this has resulted in a significant and growing disparity, known as the racial wealth gap

In 2022, the median wealth of Black families was $44,890 compared to $285,000 for white families.

Take Action!
INSPIREquity℠ invites white people, who have benefited from these discriminatory systems, to take restorative action by pledging at least 1% of their personal net worth over the next three years to close the racial wealth gap.
By shifting a portion of your wealth to Black-led initiatives to support Black wealth building, you are directly contributing to a more inclusive economy – one that works for all.
“For every $15 in wealth the average Black family has, the average white family has $100.”
