Black Donors Pitched On "Prosperity Foundation" | New Haven Independent:
Howard K. Hill often sees families at their most vulnerable hour—when a loved one has passed away.
Those families, particularly African-American ones, often struggle to pay for a funeral because they’re struggling to live through other kinds of hardship.
The prominent funeral home owner is hoping that a new foundation focused on philanthropy can create enough collective wealth in the black community to tackle some of the challenges that create hardship, particularly in the areas of health, education, and economic development.
