The Bambi Fund (TAPAZ)

The Bambi Fund's mission is to provide funded opportunities for learning, growing, and exploration. We support new and budding projects, social enterprises, and nonprofit groups led by people from historically excluded communities.

This year, we're raising funds for The Hustle House - a newly launched program that is dedicated to providing support, services, and funding for justice-involved entrepreneurs as they reintegrate into our communities. We recognize the systematic barriers and discrimination that formerly incarcerated individuals often face, and we are committed to making a positive impact on their lives.

Our Vision: We envision a future where every returning community member has the opportunity to regain their freedom and self-determination to create a prosperous future for themselves and their communities.

Our Mission: Our mission is to establish a safe and supportive environment where returning community members can access economic opportunities through a cooperative of member-owned businesses, each operated by individuals who have been previously incarcerated. By doing so, we aim to break down the barriers that have held these individuals back and empower them to rebuild their lives.
