OUR VALUED IMPACT PARTNERS
We support organizations that seek the flourishing of communities of color focusing on:
Community Development · Education · Health Outcomes
Arrabon
Arrabon helps faith communities — conservative and progressive alike — actively pursue racial healing within their own contexts. The Flourish Collective’s grant funded an all-expense-paid retreat for young adults doing the work of faith and justice in isolation, and supported direct engagement with two organizations on opposite ends of the political spectrum.
“You all are doing the work that’s not based off a reaction to whatever the media cycle is — you’re finding really good trusted partners to be able to do the long-haul work over a period of time.”
Black Girls United Club
Black Girls United brings together Black girls, their mothers, and college mentors — because real change takes a village, not just a classroom. This year, they're widening the scope to remind mothers they are each other's greatest allies, not adversaries.
“Our why this year is to widen the scope, make it a village mentality — reminding us that we are not each other’s enemy.”
David Peters leads walking tours through West Oakland’s Hoover Foster neighborhood, uncovering the long history of Black culture, pride, and liberative acts. The Flourish Collective’s unrestricted support is what makes that work possible — covering the operating costs that keep the tour running and growing.
Black Liberation Walking Tour
“The Flourish Collective’s contributions are so important because they’re unrestricted. Receiving money for core operating costs is tremendous”
Greenline Housing
Jasmin Shupper founded Greenline to do what decades of discriminatory policy deliberately prevented — help Black and Brown families build wealth through homeownership. From Altadena fire survivors to formerly incarcerated Portlanders, Greenline is writing a new narrative and restoring justice, one home at a time.
“I’m grateful for Greenline. They’ve saved my life.”
MISSSEY
Our longest continuously active partner since 2020, MISSSEY prevents sexual exploitation and supports Black girls and gender-expansive youth to exit, heal, and live liberated, self-determined, joyful lives — free from harmful relationships. Their staff reflects the youth they serve — because you cannot serve a community you don't belong to.
“Exploitation relies on isolation. The antidote is healthy, strong, empowering relationships.”
Multicultural Classroom
Roberto and Lorena Germán know what it feels like to be unseen in a classroom — and built Multicultural Classroom to make sure the next generation doesn't. Through teacher training, content, and programs like the Blue Ink Literacy Initiative, they help educators unlearn what isn't working and build something better — classrooms where every young person belongs, and knows it.
“That is what we’re working on — cultivating that type of spirit, that type of energy. And your support is making that happen.”
Silicon Valley Urban Debate League
For SVUDL students, debate is a doorway — to confidence, networks, and rooms they might never otherwise enter. The Flourish Collective’s support brought 80+ students back to in-person competition and for the first time made the tournament fully accessible to Spanish-speaking students. Two students earned bids to the national championship.
“Being able to go to Dallas is going to be such a surreal experience, and being able to represent my school nationally will be the icing on the cake.”
The Privilege Insitute
The STEAMVE$TMENTS program reached 41 students ages 10–19 across Des Moines, Hartford, and Springfield — bringing together financial literacy and STEAM in a culturally responsive environment. 20 Black students, 6 Hispanic, 5 Asian, 6 multiracial, and 4 White students participated.
