we’re building direct paths to economic dignity.

the birthright project is a nonprofit designing long-term solutions that return ownership, and opportunity to communities historically excluded from systems of wealth and wellbeing.

we work across culture, technology, and care to create venture partnerships that build lasting change — starting where it’s needed most.

what we focus on.

at birthright, we focus on initiatives that build lasting access to well-being without conditions — and create pathways to permissionless prosperity and wealth in low-resourced communities.

We invest in access to quality healthcare, education, and digital tools—everything people need to shape their own future. When individuals are healthy, educated, and connected, they are empowered to make better decisions, create opportunities, and lead change.
We support pathways that increase income, unlock ownership, and ensure fair access to capital. We believe that true dignity comes from building, not just surviving. We help communities grow through entrepreneurship and access to long-term investments, allowing individuals and families to increase what they earn and own.

the vill❤ge behind birthright project

our birthright collective — fondly known as distant cousins — is made up of directors, advisors, funders, cheerleaders, and sponsors who power the birthright project.

we are united by a shared belief that economic dignity is a human right, and by the deeply unifying awareness that we were all african before we became anything else.
