“Frost Brown Todd attorneys have been part of the foundation community since we launched in 2020. It means so much to have the firm’s support with our first Father’s Day grant,” said ParentPreneur Foundation CEO James Oliver Jr. “Frost Brown Todd already serves Black entrepreneurs with legal services and other professional development tools. Funding these grants shows once again their commitment to increased diversity in entrepreneurship and venture capital.”

The ParentPreneur Foundation empowers Black ParentPreneurs, so they can leave a legacy for their beautiful children. It aims to allow the diverse members of the start-up community to thrive as a great parent, partner, and entrepreneur in the hope that they will inspire their children to live a purposeful and prosperous life because of their parents’ successes.

“The world of start-ups is a challenge no matter who you are, but that is especially true of Black entrepreneurs,” said Terrence Reeves, chair of FBT’s Venture Capital industry team. “Funding this grant is another example of how Frost Brown Todd’s venture capital services go beyond just providing legal support. Being part of this project at a time when the U.S. is celebrating Juneteenth makes it all that more special. We look forward to seeing the impact this grant program will make on the lives and livelihoods of the recipients.”
