Support Colorwave this Juneteenth as we provide a path to economic freedom for Black and other undersupported professionals.

With our record of impact, every donation provides a 5x return towards closing the racial wealth gap.

Our offerings have achieved an average $42K salary increase and an estimated $10M in economic impact toward closing the wealth gap: 

• Accelerator: Funds and mentors early-stage founders. 

• Membership Program:  Connects our talent to hiring partners. 

• Fellowship: 500+ grads prepared for roles in the innovation economy.

• AI, Machine Learning, and Cybersecurity Program: Launches lucrative careers. 

There’s a clear need to scale our impact. Despite comprising 13.4% of the U.S. population:

• Black households own less than 3% of the wealth in the U.S.

• Black workers represent a much smaller fraction of the tech sector. 

• Black households hold just $15 for every $100 of wealth held by White households.

This year, we’re growing our talent community by 300 new members while positioning our offerings to economically elevate thousands. 

As Juneteenth prompts reflection on freedom and equity, we invite you to sustain and grow Colorwave’s life-changing programming.
