JOINT VENTURE OPPORTUNITIES

Currently, We Build Jax, LLC is seeking joint venture partners to help design, develop, and fund three core community and economic development initiatives. Each project has a particular area of focus: affordable housing, higher education, and workforce development. While their primary objectives are different, they all share a common desire to uplift and empower individuals and households within under-resourced communities.

Among potential joint venture partners needed to advance these projects are churches, non-profits, institutions of higher learning, private investors, equity partners, debt partners and local employers. As each targeted project is launched, key stakeholders will be invited to sign a Non-Disclosure Non-Circumvent Agreement (NDNCA) to ensure mutual confidentiality. From time to time, We Build Jax, LLC will also augment our leadership team with key advisors who add v alue to individual project initiatives based on factors such as subject matter expertise, technical experience, community representation, and relevant network influence.
