Advancing Economic Justice in Pittsburgh

THE GREENWOOD PLAN

At The Greenwood Plan, we're on a mission to transform Pittsburgh's economic landscape by empowering Black entrepreneurs. We are dedicated to breaking down barriers and turning obstacles into stepping stones, providing the tools and networks needed for success.

We envision a vibrant community where Black-owned businesses pave the path to a brighter, more inclusive future. Join us on this exciting journey as we work together to create a world where every business has the opportunity to thrive!

Invest in True Economic Development

The Greenwood Plan is building the infrastructure for economic power for disinvested Pittsburgh (and beyond) and we need you at the table!

Your gift goes to work in three ways:

  • General Operations keeps our doors open and our work moving: the staff, partnerships, and programs that connect entrepreneurs to capital, networks, and opportunity every single day.

  • Greenwood Smithfield is our flagship building taking shape in Downtown Pittsburgh: a permanent, visible home for economic justice at the center of the region's economy. Every gift helps us get closer to opening our doors.

  • The Emerald City Gems Fund puts new and rising Black business owners into a coworking membership at Emerald City Pittsburgh. This could be a professional address, a place to meet clients, and a community of fellow founders, starting now, while our building comes to life.

 

This is NOT charity. It's repair, investment, and shared prosperity and every dollar you give is a vote for a Pittsburgh where Black entrepreneurs are an integral part of the economy.

 

Give today and BUILD Greenwood with us!

We're Raising $250,000!
