LEGUP Secure Our Wealth
"People are searching for their purpose and want to build individual, family, and business legacies beyond financial success."
- David Griffiths, Founder of Brothers Who Care
How do we Secure our Wealth?
LEGUP is part of the Brothers Who Care Secure Our Wealth (SOW) project. We will begin to secure wealth in the BIPOC community by placing a higher focus on the psychology of money and methods to better utilize and grow it. As a community, we need to feel confident about meeting our financial goals and creating generational wealth.
We will be targeting young people 18-29 years old, as well as early and mid-stage professionals and entrepreneurs. The “LEG UP” framework will break down the information, income wealth & racial wealth gaps in the financial system.
Influencers Will:
Learn Money:
Foundational knowledge on currency and the role it plays in society
Earn Money:
Aspects of a pay cheque, multiple income streams, basic budgeting tips
Grow Money:
Invest in real estate, pool funds and businesses, stocks, bonds and mutual funds
Utilize Money:
Understand how money works, along with spending and advanced money management tips
Perceive Money:
The psychology of money, stigma around debt, and using it to build wealth
Our view of money is formed in different worlds, and when that is the case, a view about money that one group of people thinks is outrageous can make perfect sense to another. It is why the Secure our Wealth Project has three programs that explore frameworks for creating financial safety and well being.
LEGUP Mastermind Group
The LEG-UP project is anchored by a MasterMind group of professionals (18-29 years old), who will act as influencers to help redefine what it means to secure wealth in BIPOC communities.
The LEG-UP Mastermind Group is a peer-to-peer growth community that helps members secure a stronger financial future. Members pour into and receive advice from each other and act as a funnel to pass on knowledge to the larger community.
LEGUP Mastermind Group project examples
Some project examples include:
- Save/invest 10-15% of all income for 6 months - how were you able to use the capital
- Regular discussions about current opportunities in the market, good stocks/crypto to buy, and discussing the overall market trends
- Digital assets, crypto stacking/lending, employment opportunities in the digital age, what skill sets are in demand?
LEGUP Community Hub
The LEG-UP Community HUB comprises 500 BIPOC professionals, 18-29 years old, who are inspired by the LEG-UP MasterMind Group to take charge of their: personal, professional and financial future.
We polled young people to get a sense of the potential needs of young entrepreneurs: How do you attract them? What does success look like?
- They are looking for balance: Being happy, still having fun, spend time with family
- They want to see success in. themselves and others that look like them
- They want to be fairly compensated
- They need a proven formula for success
