The Own The Vision Foundation serves as a catalyst to develop Black communities across America to live out the true definition of the word community; where Black people come together with common interests and have joint ownership or participation. The Foundation will help redirect more of the Black dollars spent in America back to the Black Community.
Our mission is to develop a financial pipeline to support Black businesses, nonprofit organizations, communities and HBCUs across America.

Black People in the U.S.
Black America's Annual Spending
Spending towards Black Owned Businesses
We must support our historically black colleges and universities. Monthly we will support the 107 HBCUs across the country so that every other year each HBCU will receive funding and support.
Our goal is not to reinvent the wheel, but to provide the financial resources to the organizations that support Black America day in and day out. We will support monthly, organizations like the National Urban League, NAACP, Push, National Action Network, Black Lives Matter and other national, regional and local organizations whose mission is to positively impact the Black community.
Many of our neighborhoods and communities are falling apart. The Own The Vision Foundation’s plan is to purchase property, land and business locations to rebuild our communities into thriving ones.
We will support Black owned media outlets to help tell our stories, and advertise Black businesses around the country.
The OTVF will establish a legal fund to help in defending Black people and file civil suits where injustices occur against Black people.
For Black businesses to thrive, we have to support them. At the OTVF we will have a registry of Black businesses in every city across the country, and highlight businesses weekly. We are also going to be there for them financially. When our business fall into trouble who is there to “bail them out?” Our plan, is to work with businesses to find out why they are having troubles, fix the problems and financially support them.
