The Bama Kicks Foundation works to eradicate poverty by creating pathways to economic equality.
We believe in a future where communities share ownership in the systems they sustain — and where opportunity is both accessible and regenerative.
We pursue this mission through research, advocacy, and equitable wealth distribution models such as cooperatives, unions, and employee-owned enterprises (ESOPs). Our approach is grounded in collaboration, evidence, and long-term community impact.
Our Ecosystem
To turn our mission into measurable impact, the Foundation anchors a family of aligned initiatives that work together to create sustainable economic systems:
1. Bama Kicks — Impact Investment Company
Bama Kicks is an impact-driven investment and venture-building company wholly owned by the Foundation. It funds and scales businesses that advance economic inclusion and community ownership through:
BKVC Venture Fund – invests in early-stage, mission-aligned startups.
SmaBizFund – offers $10K microloans to small businesses and local entrepreneurs.
Idea Factory Venture Studio – incubates and launches new ventures rooted in community needs and equitable design.
All profits from Bama Kicks flow back to the Foundation to expand its programs and impact.
2. BKG — Agency & Consultancy
BKG is the Foundation’s in-house agency and consultancy, providing strategic, design, and operational expertise to both internal ventures and external partners.
By offering consulting services in product, brand, and systems design, BKG helps organizations adopt equitable practices while generating revenue to sustain the Foundation’s broader mission.
3. Human Development Center
The Human Development Center serves as our research and learning arm, focused on understanding how humans can progressively build and sustain equitable systems as our world evolves.
Using cross-disciplinary models, data, and human-centered research, the Center explores areas such as:
Future of work and ownership
Inclusive governance and cooperative economics
Human potential, creativity, and well-being within equitable systems
Our Vision
To build an economy where ownership, opportunity, and dignity are shared — not scarce
