At a kickoff event held at JPMorgan Chase ahead of the 2025 Inclusive Capital Summit, the announcement of Impact Ventures' new CDFI fund set the tone for a two-day gathering focused on the future of capital, inclusion, and community-driven growth.
The inaugural three-day event lands in Dallas June 27–29 at Paul Quinn College, bringing together more than 40 speakers, curated activations, and a bold agenda built to move capital, spark deals, and support Black founders.
For the second year, the Dallas Wings Community Foundation is highlighting a different local Black-owned business on the team's social platforms each Wednesday in February in celebration of Black History Month. This month's spotlight is on Cookie Society, Pink Toes Nail Bar, Pressed Roots, and PureNRG Cycle.
