Why

At The 3rd, our mission is to create a future where Black women, women of color, and other disenfranchised communities have the resources, networks, and support to build thriving, sustainable businesses. These women represent untapped potential, yet they face significant barriers, from limited access to capital to systemic challenges that keep them from realizing their full potential.

Why Supporting Black Women,
Women of Color, and
Disenfranchised Entrepreneurs
is a Game Changer

Black women and women of color are among the fastest-growing groups of entrepreneurs in the U.S., yet they face systemic challenges that hinder their success. From Black women to Latinx women and other disenfranchised communities, many struggle to gain access to the capital, mentorship, and networks essential for growth.

Investing in Black women, women of color, and disenfranchised entrepreneurs isn’t just about individual success—it’s about catalyzing economic and social transformation. When we support these leaders, we create a ripple effect that extends beyond their businesses—creating jobs, inspiring innovation, and uplifting entire communities. This is how we drive generational change.

How Your Support Empowers
Underrepresented Visionaries
Transform Their Communities

When you invest in The 3rd, you’re not just funding a program—you’re helping to break down systemic barriers for Black women, women of color, and individuals from disenfranchised communities. These visionaries hold immense potential, but they often face disproportionate challenges: limited access to capital, networks, and mentorship that are crucial for entrepreneurial success.

Your support directly fuels their ability to rise above these challenges. With the resources, mentorship, and community we provide, these entrepreneurs unlock their full potential, creating businesses that don’t just thrive—they transform communities. By empowering them, you’re driving lasting change: creating new jobs, fostering innovation, and sparking economic growth in the places that need it most.
Together, we’re building a future where these resilient leaders lead the charge for social and economic impact, leaving legacies that inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.
