About Us.

The Creation of a Legacy happens only as a Community Expresses their Heart.

When Legacy Ventures was first imagined, the desire was simple, teach kids and creatives honest business principles. What started as a devotion to inspire others has evolved into a mission to serve those around us through entrepreneurship and ownership.

Every day in every way we are redefining what’s possible in underserved communities through entrepreneurship, ownership, and creativity.

Many versions of Legacy have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose. Together we can help create a new beginning for students and families.

Leave a Legacy That's Living

Founders

Joy Saunders & Stefan Gilliam

It was a series of conversations that lead Stefan and Joy to discover they shared passions for elevating our youth and our society. AND they both believed the best way to uplift our world, was by teaching our students early, establishing businesses, and embracing communities.

After hyping each other up for nearly a year, they could no longer contain their enthusiasm and unveiled Legacy Ventures at a business conference in Orlando, FL in March of 2019. A 501c3 organization, Legacy Ventures is the vision of two dreamers who thirst to see stronger families and neighborhoods.
