About Us
Mission: 

At AWBI we are actively reimagining economic realities to produce an opportunity-rich future for all. The goal of the Atlanta Wealth Building Initiative (AWBI) is to foster solutions designed to close Atlanta’s racial opportunity gaps, so that all of Atlanta’s residents are able to reach their highest potential. In pursuit of this goal, as an intermediary AWBI seeks to achieve shared prosperity by closing the racial wealth gap through thought leadership that advances bold ideas, movement building that activates people on the ground and strategic investments that equitably deploy capital.

Community wealth building lies at the heart of our model and our core values of inclusion, collaboration, innovation, courage, impact and sustainability undergird our work.  

AWBI seeks to leverage three critical components, which when activated together have transformative power. Those components are ideas, people and capital:

  • Ideas are advanced through thought leadership 

  • People are activated through building

  • Capital is deployed through strategic investments.
