Business Development

Business development focuses on identifying growth opportunities, building strategic relationships, and expanding market reach. It involves creating and nurturing partnerships, exploring new revenue streams, and improving long-term profitability. At its core, it’s about turning vision into sustainable success.

Family Development

Family development is the intentional process of nurturing strong, healthy, and supportive family relationships. It involves fostering emotional well-being, communication, and shared values across generations. At its heart, it’s about building a foundation where every family member can grow and thrive together.

Investment Strategies

Investment strategies are tailored plans designed to grow wealth and manage financial risk over time. They involve choosing the right mix of assets—such as stocks, real estate, or businesses—based on goals, timelines, and risk tolerance. A strong strategy ensures your money works effectively to build long-term financial security.

Political Strategies

Political strategies are deliberate plans used to influence policy, gain public support, and achieve legislative or electoral goals. They involve building coalitions, shaping public messaging, and navigating power dynamics effectively. Successful strategies balance principle with pragmatism to drive meaningful political impact.

Our 4 Core Services

Business Development

At Sankofa Intent, we believe that economic empowerment is essential to community transformation. Our approach to business development centers on creating and nurturing Black- and culturally rooted-owned enterprises across America. By combining ancestral wisdom with modern strategy, we equip aspiring entrepreneurs with the tools, mentorship, and resources needed to launch, sustain, and grow impactful businesses. We focus on building strong foundations through education in financial literacy, strategic planning, branding, and scalable operations. Whether it's revitalizing local neighborhoods through small business creation or launching innovative startups, Sankofa Intent fosters a culture of ownership, resilience, and legacy-building. Our goal is not just to start businesses—but to create lasting institutions that generate wealth, uplift communities, and inspire generations.

Family Development

At Sankofa Intent, we recognize that strong families are the backbone of thriving communities. Our commitment to family development is rooted in the belief that healing, unity, and generational wisdom are essential to building a resilient and empowered society. We work to strengthen the family infrastructure by fostering emotional wellness, intergenerational communication, shared values, and cultural identity. Through workshops, mentorship programs, and community initiatives, we provide families with the tools and support needed to navigate modern challenges while staying grounded in ancestral principles. From parenting education and conflict resolution to financial planning and legacy building, we help families restore balance, create stability, and lay the groundwork for future generations to flourish. Sankofa Intent is where family becomes foundation, and from that foundation, communities rise.

Investment Strategies

Sankofa Intent is committed to restoring generational wealth within the African American community by implementing strategic, community-based investment models. One of our key initiatives is the development of a pooled fund system, where individuals commit to sowing a monthly contribution toward a shared financial goal: the acquisition of land, residential housing, and commercial real estate. This approach empowers participants to become collective stakeholders in tangible assets that appreciate over time, such as farmland, rental properties, and business spaces. Through education, trust-building, and transparent financial management, we turn small monthly investments into powerful economic leverage. More than just buying property, we are reclaiming ownership, securing safe spaces for Black enterprise, and laying the foundation for community self-determination. At Sankofa Intent, investment becomes a tool for liberation, legacy, and long-term stability.

Political Strategies

At Sankofa Intent, we understand that economic power without political influence leaves our communities vulnerable. That’s why we don’t just build businesses — we build power structures. Our strategy is to use organized wealth, cooperative ownership, and strategic alliances to influence policy, hold leaders accountable, and ensure our voices shape the laws and decisions that impact us most. By pooling our financial resources, training leaders from within our neighborhoods, and supporting candidates who reflect our values, we are creating a political force rooted in economic independence and cultural integrity. We organize, we vote, and we demand a seat at every decision-making table — local, state, and national. This isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about power with purpose: Funding issue-based campaigns that protect our communities Influencing budgets to prioritize education, housing, and health Running candidates who live among us, serve with us, and lead for us Reclaiming abandoned buildings, underfunded schools, and overlooked blocks through policy, ownership, and people power We believe that economic self-determination must be matched with political action. Through unity, strategy, and resolve, Sankofa Intent is turning cooperative wealth into transformational influence — from the block to the ballot.

Sanko Intent Organization is dedicated to building lasting wealth and fostering self-sufficiency in urban communities through cooperative economics. To achieve this ambitious vision, we offer a suite of six essential services, designed to provide practical support and strategic guidance to individuals, families, and community initiatives. These services are the actionable tools that bring our Four Pillars of Principles to life.

Business Plan

Description: We provide expert guidance and resources to help aspiring entrepreneurs and community groups craft robust, viable business plans. This includes market analysis, financial projections, operational strategies, and legal considerations. Impact: A well-structured business plan is the blueprint for successful Collective Economics. It empowers individuals and groups to transition from ideas to sustainable, community-owned enterprises, directly contributing to local wealth creation and job opportunities, and strengthening the Family Infrastructure by providing pathways to economic independence.

Crowd Funding

Description: We assist individuals and community projects in navigating the crowdfunding landscape, helping them design compelling campaigns, identify suitable platforms, and effectively reach potential donors and investors. Impact: Crowdfunding is a powerful tool for Collective Economics, enabling communities to pool resources and fund initiatives that might otherwise lack traditional financing. This democratizes access to capital, fostering community investment and allowing impactful projects (e.g., for Afrocentric Education or Preventive Health initiatives) to gain momentum through collective support.

Credit Restoration

Description: We offer guidance and strategies for individuals to improve their credit scores, understand credit reports, and manage debt effectively, laying a foundation for financial health. Impact: Strong credit is fundamental to Rebuilding Family Infrastructure and achieving economic stability. It unlocks access to better housing, lower interest rates for loans (including for small businesses), and greater financial mobility, empowering families to build assets and participate more fully in Collective Economics.

Land Acquistion

Description: We provide strategic support for community groups and cooperatives looking to acquire and develop land for community-benefiting projects, such as affordable housing, urban farms, or community centers. Impact: Control over land is crucial for long-term community stabilization and wealth building. This service directly supports Collective Economics by enabling community ownership of vital assets. It can also pave the way for spaces dedicated to Afrocentric Education (e.g., independent schools) or Preventive Health (e.g., community gardens, wellness centers), reinforcing all pillars.

Civic Engagement

Description: We facilitate and encourage active participation in local governance, policy advocacy, and community organizing, ensuring that community voices are heard and represented in decisions that affect their lives. Impact: Robust Civic Engagement is vital for creating an enabling environment for Collective Economics to thrive. It empowers communities to advocate for policies that support cooperative development, improve public services (including those related to Preventive Health and Afrocentric Education), and ensure that local development genuinely serves the needs of the Family Infrastructure.

Independent Schools

Description: We offer guidance and support for communities interested in establishing and sustaining independent, community-controlled educational institutions that align with Afrocentric principles. Impact: This service directly champions Afrocentric Education, allowing communities to create learning environments tailored to their cultural values and educational philosophies, ensuring high expectations and comprehensive development for their children. These schools can also become anchors for Collective Economics within the community, fostering local employment and resource circulation.
