Launched in partnership with Black women-led organizations, Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women is a commitment of $10 billion in direct investment capital and $100 million in philanthropic support to narrow opportunity gaps for Black women at key moments in their lives — from early childhood through retirement and everything in between.
“We are so proud to lock arms with Echoing Green to support Black women and their boundless potential as social innovators…Giving Black women a platform to invest in their ideas is essential to closing opportunity gaps, because we know that those closest to the problems are closest to the solutions”
