ACUMEN OUTREACH TO COMMUNITIES IN NEED
The Acumen Group fosters healthy community relations through stewardship in each city we serve -- both stateside and abroad. These have included Bread for the City and The Centers for Creative Non-Violence (CCNV) in D.C., and The Brixton Soup Kitchen in London.

BRIDGE TO BLACK HISTORY
The Acumen Group provides financial support to independent, Black-owned bookstores and community outreach programs in London (New Beacon Books), Toronto (A Different Booklist Bookstore), and Amsterdam (House of Khepera) during the month of February. This outreach is designed to encourage literacy in communities of color by providing $1000 / €1000 / £1000 to Black bookstores whose customers receive a book of their choosing for free with our blessings.
