Acknowledging the Past. Building the Future.

America's history includes generations of economic exclusion that impacted the ability of many Black families to build and transfer wealth.  The effects of those barriers created lost legacies and wealth gaps which continue today.

440400 exists to create a pathway where voluntary investment, partnerships, giving and collective action can help address these economic disparities through measurable impact.

The Black wealth gap did not happen by accident. It developed over generations through unequal access to financial resources, property ownership, education, business capital, and opportunities to build and transfer wealth.

For many Black families, these historical disadvantages continue to affect financial stability today.

The 4-40-400 Capital Venture Fund was created to respond with practical action.

We believe that individuals, businesses, faith communities, philanthropists, and influencers can come together voluntarily to support solutions that help close portions of the wealth gap and create stronger economic futures.

Our purpose is not simply to discuss history. It is to create a better legacy because we understand it.
