We use creative strategies to help neighborhoods thrive.  Whether the need is Real Estate development, identifying services and needs, or creating valuable and sustainable partnerships, we have the visionary leadership skills to get the job done.

Our History

Visionary Venture Charities, Inc. (VVC) was established in 2020 by a group of Black professional women.  VVC was created in direct response to Baltimore's socio-economic needs focusing on in-community solutions, improving the lives of a diverse group of residents, adapting a social-enterprise model for change.

Our Vision

VVC will invest in people and creative spaces that inspire and empower positive community transformation.  

Our Mission

VVC will leverage its collective expertise and collaborative efforts to cultivate thriving communities in the Baltimore Metropolitan area.

THE PILLARS

Workforce Development

Ensuring employment opportunities for unemployed and underemployed to address persistent workforce deficits and help families and youth avoid generational employment challenges.


Healthy Living

Visionary Venture Charities believes a healthy community lifestyle is a journey designed to achieve a rewarding life with residents living to their full potential.  A healthy community requires working together to make healthy living options accessible, reducing health disparities caused by differences in race and ethnicity, income and education, location and other influences that affect health. It means safe and easy walking and bike paths, and enjoying outdoor community spaces.


Community Engagement

Our community is full of people who want to help. We work to help the people providing services with the people who need them. Come connect with people in new ways.
