Impact by Building Bridges
and Collective Networks
The BRIC Fund is working to impact, empower and enrich communities through its resources, programs and collaborative partnerships. It's through this multi-layered framework we fulfill our commitment to strengthen Colorado's Black communities.

COMMUNITY VOICE AND VISUALIZATION OF IMPACT
“The Pirates have always sought to be more than an all-volunteer football and cheer organization. The pandemic, economic downturn, and social unrest from the George Floyd murder was an unfortunate opportunity for us to go beyond our traditional boundaries of support. We had to significantly increase our capacity to serve and be creative in generating funding sources. We tripled down on our partnerships, provided basic need grants, and transformed our services to wrap around entire families. It was a challenge, but our families trusted us and needed us. We are a part of the Northeast Denver community, and as trusted leaders in times of crisis, it's what we have and will continue to do.” ~Herman L. White – Chair, Park Hill Pirates Youth Sports Organization
