A Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Investment

We are proud to announce that Sperity Real Estate Ventures has been selected as a Comcast RISE 2024 recipient. This recognition reflects our ongoing dedication to not only serving the Richmond community with high-quality commercial real estate and business brokerage services but also advancing the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Comcast RISE, a program focused on empowering small businesses, places a strong emphasis on fostering diversity and inclusion while supporting the growth of businesses from all backgrounds. This aligns with our core mission at Sperity, where we work closely with minority- and woman-owned businesses to help them navigate the complexities of commercial real estate and business transactions.

Supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

As a business that believes in creating opportunities for everyone, we are especially proud to be part of a program that upholds these same values. The Comcast RISE initiative evaluates how businesses contribute to DEI objectives and enhance the economic vitality of their communities. This focus on community impact is central to our own operations, as we aim to support local entrepreneurs and underrepresented groups in the Richmond area.

At Sperity, we have a long-standing commitment to:
– Hiring from within our local community
– Supporting other local businesses through partnerships and purchases
– Engaging with non-profit organizations that promote diversity and inclusion in the business sector

Our selection as a Comcast RISE recipient is a testament to the hard work we’ve done in these areas, and we are excited to leverage this opportunity to further expand our impact.

A Broader Mission with Local Roots

While the Comcast RISE program is open to all eligible small businesses, it places a particular emphasis on businesses that are deeply rooted in their local communities and actively contribute to DEI initiatives.

This reflects our own approach at Sperity, where we focus on helping local small businesses, particularly minority- and woman-owned ventures, succeed in the commercial real estate market.

Originally created to help businesses hardest hit by the pandemic, Comcast RISE has evolved to support a wider range of small businesses, while continuing to prioritize diversity, inclusion, and community investment. We are honored to be part of a program that highlights the success stories of diverse entrepreneurs and looks for businesses making meaningful contributions to the local economy.

Looking Ahead

As a Comcast RISE 2024 recipient, we are excited to use the resources and support provided by the program to continue growing our business and supporting the Richmond community. This recognition not only validates our efforts but also gives us the tools to expand our work with underrepresented business owners and entrepreneurs.

We are deeply grateful to Comcast RISE for this honor, and to our clients and partners for their

continued support. Together, we are not just completing business transactions—we are helping build a more inclusive and diverse business landscape in Richmond.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow and strengthen our services. Thank you for being part of this exciting journey with us!
