Building What Comes Next.

The PRT Reach Foundation is the nonprofit arm of The Presidents’ RoundTable — dedicated to advancing economic mobility for minority entrepreneurs and students across the Baltimore–Washington region. Where PRT convenes established leaders, PRT Reach invests in those who are still building their path.

From aspiration to access.

Through scholarships, mentorship, and evidence-based programming, PRT Reach bridges the gap between aspiration and access — ensuring that the next generation of Black business leaders has what they need to compete, succeed, and build generational wealth.

The PRT Reach Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
