“Follow someone’s agenda; it can be your fate. Create your agenda; it will be your journey.”
Our vision is that the Black community will embrace a journey of a more prosperous and equitable future.
Pursuit of a vision is more than knowing, thinking and talking about our issues. Pursuit is an active involvement with our brothers and sisters that are impacted by economic and social issues that face our Black community.
If we can not envision and work for a different tomorrow, then our present-day existence will become our fate.
The mission and vision of the Ingram Family Foundation is not without challenge, but we believe a different day is attainable.

Impact
Today the black community represents 13% of the American population. We represent 40% of the prison population and 27% of people living in poverty.
The disparities are the same in every social aspect of our lives: education, health care, etc. These conditions represent a community which continues to fight the impact of American slavery.
WHAT WE DO
Our mission is to promote thoughtful analysis, discussions and actions that will change our present-day existence.
WHO WE ARE
Our vision is that the Black community will embrace a journey of a more prosperous and equitable future.
