In Loving Memory

The Regina Harris
Fund

Named in honor of a woman whose faith, strength, and love were the foundation of everything built here — this fund exists to give Black-led organizations the infrastructure they've always deserved.

Who She Was

She carried people.
Now her name carries them too.

Regina Harris was a mother, a woman of deep faith, and the kind of person who showed up — fully, quietly, consistently — for everyone around her. She didn't need recognition. She needed to know the people she loved were taken care of. That's still the work.

Olive Root Tech was built on values she lived: do right by your community, don't cut corners on what matters, and make sure the people who've been overlooked have what they need to stand. The Regina Harris Fund is the direct expression of that inheritance.

"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few."
— Luke 10:2 · A verse she lived by

Black-led churches, childcare centers, and academies do the work that holds communities together. They operate on faith, sweat, and margins that don't account for the technology they need to do that work with integrity. This fund changes that — in her name.
