Nexus Community Partners

For over 20 years, Nexus Community Partners has built engaged and powerful communities of color so that each and every person can flourish in a joyful and abundant life.

As an organization with powerful Black leadership and initiatives, we are spotlighting our Black programming in honor of Black August. These include:

• The Open Road Fund, which is returning money directly to Black folks so they can build something long-lasting for themselves, their families, and their communities.
• The North Star Black Cooperative Fellowship, which is bringing together worker-owners of Black-led cooperatives to live into a future of Black wealth.

These, and all of Nexus’ programs, are designed to nurture the relationships and community resilience we need to weather the volatility and uncertainty we are facing.

Our other programs for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color include:

• ROOT (Reclaiming Our Own Time) provides resources, support, and spaces for rest and restoration for BIPOC movement leaders.
• The Boards & Commissions Leadership Institute equips people historically shut-out from governing—BIPOC, women, queer folks, disabled folks, low-wealth folks, and other historically marginalized and oppressed people—to serve on city, county, metro, and state boards and commissions.
• The Shared Ownership Center @ Nexus changes the face of ownership through worker cooperatives, real estate investment cooperatives, and other shared ownership models.
