Investing for Growth. Built for Impact.
M-USA Capital is a private investment company that deploys capital into high-growth opportunities while generating long-term returns to support mission-driven initiatives. We are the wholly-owned investment arm of the United Black Fund of Cleveland.







Problem
Why It Matters
Nonprofits are the backbone of social progress — but their funding is often unpredictable. Economic swings, changing donor priorities, and shifting government policies create uncertainty that can derail long-term initiatives.
When traditional funding falls short, essential programs are delayed, reduced, or shut down. Talented teams leave. Growth is paused.
M-USA Capital was created to change that.
By generating sustainable revenue through strategic private investments, we help mission-driven organizations plan with confidence, grow with purpose, and sustain their impact — year after year.

Powered by capital. Guided by purpose.
