Company Overview
1803 Fund nurtures collaboration, autonomy and power in Black Portland, through social and financial investment. They envision rooted, prosperous life for Black folks in this Portland Oregon.
Product
Investments that create and preserve homes, structures and infrastructure. Physical permanence is essential for growing prosperous life. We cannot take root if we are always economically vulnerable and forced to move. Investments that celebrate and enrich Portland’s vibrant Black culture. Art and culture are essential to how Black folks have expressed ourselves, documented our history and claimed our place as the lifeblood of America. Investments in our youth and the communities that surround them. There can be no rooted, prosperous life for Black folks without a concerted investment in the education and wellbeing of our youth. Because children are our future. And learning is the engine of life.
Future Vision
We seek enduring, population-wide impact; the kind of change that transforms a community from the root. We think that capital should serve the people. So, our Fund is “seed” money, planted in our community for generations to come.
