Kingdom Health & Wealth Endowment
A Sustainable Black Church Solution for Community Wellbeing
Black churches unite to create church-owned community endowments that fund, own, and operate innovative healthcare solutions — especially in underserved areas affected by hospital closures and Medicaid losses.
The Big Idea
Community Endowments
This endowment grows through donations, community investments, partnerships, and social enterprise profits.
Healthcare Solutions
It reinvests dividends into community-based health clinics, telehealth, mobile medical units, wellness education, elder care, mental health, and preventive services owned by the church cooperative.
Economic Empowerment
This model keeps wealth circulating in the Black community while filling critical healthcare gaps with faith-driven, community-trusted services.
How It Works: Kingdom Endowment Fund
Seed Funding
Each participating church commits to seed funding through land leverage, donations, and designated offerings.
Ethical Investments
The pooled endowment is invested in low-to-moderate risk, ethical vehicles to generate sustainable returns.
Endowment Income Allocation
Capitalizing Clinics
Funding new clinics and health hubs in underserved communities
Subsidizing Care
Providing financial support for uninsured patients
