Ben Harris Business Fund is a non profit organization that empowers those suffering from the hopelessness caused by events that have transpired over the past 50+ years, much of which has affected socio-economically deprived areas.
We believe the most effective changes start with those who have a lived experience of having to deal with the criminal behavior of others and have taken initial steps towards self-recovery.
Since our beginning, we have fostered relationships with those marginalized from cultural traumatic injuries, envision a life of independence and resiliency.
