“The most persistent and penetrating problem facing Black America is the wealth gap. The lack of financial capacity among Black families impacts education, health care, housing and all other quality of life issues.”
DeForest B. Soaries, Jr., Founder & Chair, Dfree Global Foundation Inc.
According to a report by Prosperity Now, Black Americans are projected to have a median net
worth of ZERO by 2053! The Dfree Global Foundation, Inc. is on a mission to change this by
addressing the psychological, social, emotional, and cultural issues that drive financial choices
and behavior.
Our Training + Engagement Team supports leaders, teams, and organizations globally to implement the dfree® Lifestyle programming. As one of our fastest-growing segments, our team provides training, programming, tools, curriculum, and tailored launch and measurement plans supporting our global leaders and partners.
The BDC platform provides 11,000+ people with interactive tools and calculators to pay down
debts, build savings, and change behaviors that affect their financial health. This year, we have new site enhancements and resources to help even more people pay off their debt! Our goal is to pay off $1 billion in consumer debt. So far, more than $36 million has been paid off.
