Supporting Genesis For Good
The Genesis For Good Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public foundation building strong, inclusive, and vibrant communities by mobilizing resources to support economic and workforce development, financial literacy, affordable housing, safety net services, entrepreneurship, and diversity and inclusion. Through the Genesis Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship sponsorship model, 10% of every sponsorship dollar goes directly into the Genesis For Good Foundation and out into the communities we serve.
Our mission, together with the Genesis For Good Foundation, is to develop and implement solutions that break down barriers for small and midsize minority-owned businesses, creating a more robust and fair business ecosystem.
Our partnerships will be formed on the basis of co-creating value, stimulating economic change, and promoting reinvestment into the vibrant Southern California community.
