We work together with people and organizations to improve the health and well-being of residents in our community, especially those that have been historically under-resourced.
JFFVentures mission is to invest in founders with lived experience who are building technology companies that enable the economic mobility of low-wage workers. JFFV operates in partnership with a leading national nonprofit, Jobs for the Future (JFF), a 40-year-old organization with deep networks and expertise in education and workforce development. JFF works with various partners, including employers, educational institutions, and policymakers, to design and implement innovative strategies to create career pathways and improve economic opportunities for workers.
JFFV provides early-stage capital to founders with lived-experience who are closer to the problems they are seeking to solve; increasing access to quality and affordable learning and skilling solutions, access to career navigation and job placement; access to benefits and supports specifically designed for low-wage workers and ultimately increasing access to quality jobs and economic mobility.
We are a nonprofit organization that aims to attack the wealth gaps in the United States while also ensuring the retiring small business owners can leave a legacy behind with the jobs they have created in their communities.
Tara Health Foundation advances health and economic justice by transferring all of our resources and assets to invest in and elevate solutions at the intersection of race and gender.
Institutions and people will take actions so that systematically marginalized people and minorities are able to assert sovereignty over their own bodies and futures, and lay full claim to quality healthcare, capital, and power. As a result, our society and the communities within it will be thriving with people of color at the helm.
To achieve this, systemically privileged institutions– beginning with the Tara Health Foundation– must let go of their historically unjust status, capital, and power. The vision of the Tara Health Foundation is that institutions and people must take actions to relinquish capital and power at the intersection of health, economic power, rights, safety, and education. This practice must be widely incorporated into public policy and all sectors so that racism and sexism in the US are eradicated.
