“To increase generational wealth, what we pass down is about more than money. It is about our  Generational Inheritance.”

What is generational Wealth? 
Generational Wealth boils down to one word- INHERITANCE.

For too long BIPOC entrepreneurs have gone underinvested and overlooked for solutions to the problems we want to solve. It is also evident that the lack of generational wealth held by BIPOC leaders and communities perpetuates a cycle that challenges both to reach their full potential.

At Camelback Ventures, we envision a new world that seeks refuge and investment in BIPOC entrepreneurs to solve the world's toughest problems and those most in need can finally benefit from the return on investment of their genius. But we cannot do it alone...

The Generational Inheritance Initiative emphasizes the value of cooperative power. It moves us away from the current focus of how to build generational wealth, which places the responsibility of wealth creation on the individual, to a new framework that envisions a principle-based support system that creates equitable conditions enabling BIPOC leaders and communities to thrive.

GENERATIONAL INHERITANCE: WE PASS DOWN MORE THAN WEALTH

By:Kelli Saulny

Director of Strategic Partnerships | Camelback Ventures

Over the past couple of years, as I have become entrenched in the of racial equity one concept has become increasingly alluring to me - the necessity of inheritance in economic mobility and intergenerational sustainability. Within this concept, I also realized my programming to be drawn to the aspiration of inheritance, the idea of receiving something of value left behind by someone connected to you. But inheritance also has a more simple concept, which is the transference of structure(s).

THE PRINCIPLES OF GENERATIONAL INHERITANCE

Aspirational Hope

It is imperative to start with the idea of hope because this is where agency is rooted and blossoms into the courage to design a different world.

Connectivity

A valuable inheritance is measured by its ability to attach to others in a meaningful way to create a more democratic power structure.

Anti-Racism

We must divorce ourselves from the racism bequeathed to us, generation after generation, in social and market policies as well as implement an accountability system that has consequences for those who pose a threat to inequity.

Perpetuity

Times may change but values are forever. They are the pillars that represent policies and principles. An enduring inheritance has values rooted in equity and supports a vision that is bigger than anyone single person.
