Planting the seeds of possibility

In celebration of Black History Month, we’re honoring people who are planting seeds of possibility in communities across the country. Spanning financial literacy and development programs, theater arts and social, economic and advocacy initiatives – these organizations and their dedicated leaders are helping others realize a better, brighter future. They are sowing seeds that will take root in our communities and help them grow strong with possibilities for generations to come.
