Delta Fund

The Delta Fund operates as an investment initiative, strategically deploying capital to foster racial equity, financial inclusion, and a future beyond conventional growth paradigms. It critiques the existing economic framework, which prioritizes profit and wealth concentration, in favor of a "well-being economy" that values human communities and natural resources. Their methodology involves challenging the growth imperative, broadening the definition of "return" to encompass financial, social, and natural capital, and empowering communities through diverse ownership models.

Co-founded by Katie and Brian Boland, the initiative emerged from their observation that the prevailing economic system, despite generating immense wealth, paradoxically exacerbates financial strain and inequality. They recognized the economy as a mutable human construct, not a fixed force, providing the impetus to reconstruct it with well-being as its central tenet. Brian, a former Vice President at Facebook, and Katie, an experienced educator, leverage their backgrounds to advocate for systemic change.

The Fund engages with organizations that align with its vision, directing resources towards initiatives that drive fundamental economic transformation. It seeks to redefine finance and investing by moving beyond incremental solutions to address root causes. The Delta Fund’s overarching mission is to cultivate a just, equitable, and sustainable future, shaping an economy that genuinely serves all individuals and the planet.
