This innovative program builds vital economic pathways for women of color, providing access to essential resources, including capital, technology, and mentorship. By integrating these efforts, TFCF not only fosters entrepreneurship but also ensures that holistic support is available to all community members, creating a lasting impact on their lives.

“This recognition is a reminder that change is possible and that we’re building something bigger than ourselves,” said Perez. “At Time for Change Foundation, we see firsthand how resilience and opportunity can open doors for people to build lives filled with stability and purpose. This award inspires us to keep going, knowing our work matters deeply to the communities we serve.”

As JP Morgan’s newest Community Icon, Perez exemplifies the strength and dedication behind Time for Change Foundation’s mission. Through programs like BBOP and the comprehensive services offered by TFCF, the organization is leading the way to brighter, more resilient communities where everyone can thrive.
