From FOX 4 News:

“We’re trying to take a community that had been formally maligned and formally taken advantage of and turn it into something positive,” said Ajia Morris, co-founder of The Greenline Initiative.

Morris started The Greenline Initiative alongside her husband, Christopher. The mission of the organization is to increase Black generational wealth through property ownership and investment.

“The racial wealth gap is widening, and one of the primary ways people can accumulate generational wealth is through homeownership,” Ajia said. “That’s one step we can take to close the divide.”

“The impact is not just for the family that purchased the home, but when you fix up a vacant or blighted home, the neighborhood is immediately impacted,” Christopher said. “It’s more beautiful, safer.”

We cannot express our gratitude enough to everyone who contributed to our fundraising campaign this Fall. Since our Greenline Grows KC event at the end of August, you've helped us raise $9,115! Combined with our Give Black Day contributions, that brings us to a total of **$13,515**!

We've had donations from all across the US, and from as far away as Norway! We are so incredibly grateful, and we can't wait to use this money to help marginalized folks in our city build generational wealth and realize their dreams of home ownership!

Our GoFundMe will remain open for anyone who wants to contribute in the future as we continue our grassroots work in Kansas City. This is just the beginning! 💚💚💚
