Our mission is to empower communities through cannabis

About Us

Weed Build the Hood is more than an organization—it's a movement driven by collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to social change. Founded by three visionary entrepreneurs on principles of equity, inclusion, and sustainability, we harness the economic potential of the cannabis industry to drive holistic and equitable development in underserved neighborhoods.

Our Mission:

Our mission is simple yet profound: to leverage the resources, expertise, and opportunities of the cannabis industry to revitalize communities, create jobs, and promote social justice. By investing in local businesses, supporting entrepreneurship, and catalyzing innovation, we aim to uplift neighborhoods, empower residents, and build a more resilient and vibrant city for all.

Dispensary Partnerships and Banking Solutions: At Weed Build the Hood, we recognize the vital role that dispensaries play in our mission. Through strategic partnerships with dispensaries and cannabis brands, we provide opportunities for investment and collaboration, enabling them to reinvest profits into community development projects. Additionally, we address the banking challenges faced by dispensaries by providing alternative financial solutions and investment vehicles, allowing them to unlock the potential of their capital and contribute to the growth and prosperity of the communities they serve.

What We Do:

At Weed Build the Hood, we take a comprehensive and collaborative approach to community development, focusing on key areas such as:

  • Economic Empowerment: Supporting small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs through funding, mentorship, and technical assistance.

  • Housing and Infrastructure: Rehabilitating vacant properties, building affordable housing, and revitalizing neighborhood infrastructure.

  • Education and Workforce Development: Providing training, skills development, and job opportunities for residents of all ages.

  • Health and Wellness: Promoting access to healthcare, nutrition, and wellness programs to improve quality of life.

  • Arts and Culture: Celebrating local culture, heritage, and creativity through arts, music, and cultural events.

  • Sustainability and Environmental Justice: Promoting sustainable practices, green technologies, and environmental stewardship.

  • By engaging residents, stakeholders, and partners in every step of the process, we strive to create lasting impact and positive change in the neighborhoods we serve.
