Abstract

Philanthropist Clara Wu Tsai is committed to racial equity and investing in Brooklyn-based minority business owners. In the wake of the George Floyd murder, she decides to create a new initiative called the Social Justice Fund and commit an initial $50 million over 10 years to benefit the BIPOC (especially Black) community. Now she must determine how to deploy that capital and who to partner with in order to maximize impact.
