OneTen is not just philanthropy. We’re harnessing the power of committed companies to close the opportunity gap and drive lasting systemic impact on racial and economic justice. Because creating a more equitable society takes all of us.
Eliminating barriers to advancement for any group lifts everyone and helps us reach our full potential as a nation. While we are starting with Black Americans, we hope that over time this will expand.
Nearly 80% of Black Americans do not have a four-year college degree. Reimagining the talent pipeline with a skills-first approach couldn’t be more vital to achieving greater equity and inclusion. OneTen will get it done.
