Breaking cycles, Building prosperity.

The Louis G. Stanfield and Louis B. Desrosiers Foundation is committed to creating opportunities for Black, Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) and LGBTQI+ communities that redress the impact of systemic racism and discrimination by investing in individuals and initiatives that disrupt wealth inequality, and by building sustainable intergenerational wealth among marginalized groups, locally and overseas.
