SoLa Impact announced the launch of its $1 billion "Black Impact Fund" to invest exclusively in Black and Brown communities in major urban markets. 

The fund will consist of a $500 million Opportunity Zone fund and a side-by-side, $500 million non-Opportunity Zone fund. 

"After a decade of successfully investing in Los Angeles' African-American and Latinx communities, we have learned a great deal about how to deliver near-term and long-term dividends for both the investors and the community," Martin Muoto, CEO of SoLa Impact and founder of the Black Impact Fund, said in a statement. "Ultimately, it is about creating shared prosperity and racial equity. In light of all the country is going through, it is clear the size and scope of the problem requires a bold and ambitious response. The time to act is now."
