The New Tenth Foundation's overarching mission is to make a mark that cannot be erased by removing the shackles that currently limit understanding, recognizing that capital is a tool that can be used to unharness the masses' creative ability. We invest in our forgotten ones and prove that social consciousness will be more productive and profitable over time than the current systems that benefit the few. We work diligently in creating a meritocracy where character, beliefs, and ideas are the deciding factor. The status quo is unacceptable; we harness the power of capital, investment, innovation, technology, creativity, and love to deliver our youth from this problem. We seek to prepare our young men and women to excel in the creative ability that God has given to them. No matter the size or portion, to be relevant in this age and the next. By establishing a new way of thinking, living, working, and succeeding.
