Our
Mission
The Harriet Tubman Foundation for Safe Passage fights for a robust framework of support, advocacy, business coaching, community network building and financial literacy to people and organizations working to achieve equity and justice in a system designed to sustain economic and spiritual oppression. Founded by Black women and family operated, Dr. Jesse Miller and her family have joined forces and are utilizing the years of experience, deep intuition and extensive networks to share resources with the community. Through collaborative programming and mutual aid networking, this family foundation looks forward to navigating the end of systemic racism; and sharing their vision of a better future for Black lives.
Technical Assistance
Technical Assistance for Organizations
The Harriet Tubman Foundation aims to address the needs of small grassroots organizations
that serve their local communities. The program offers various types of support to these
organizations, including grant writing assistance, program guidance, infrastructure development,
training, and maintaining quality standards.
One of the key aspects of the program is its emphasis on professional development, enabling senior
professionals to leverage their understanding of cultural contexts to lead the design and implementation
of economic resilience strategies. This technical assistance and capacity building are particularly
important for underfunded communities that are disproportionately impacted by structural racism.
The program aims to empower these communities and address the disparities they face.

Re-entry Program
Comprehensive Transition Program
Thousands of adults are currently incarcerated in state prisons, many of whom will eventually return to our communities. With nearly half of these individuals being parents, the ripple effects of their reintegration are deeply felt by families and neighborhoods alike.
The foundation’s re-entry program is a comprehensive initiative designed to empower justice-involved individuals in Washington state to successfully reintegrate into society. Our approach combines grassroots efforts with evidence-based practices to tackle the complex challenges faced by those reentering the community. By partnering with local organizations and community members, we develop a program tailored to the unique needs of each participant. Through extensive peer navigation services, targeted financial support, and a focus on life stabilization, career readiness, and employment, our program aims to reduce recidivism and promote long-term self-sufficiency.
Our Approach
- Expand Work-based Learning Opportunities
- Public Financial Assistance is available
- Program Evaluations (track recidivism, implementation, and communities of practices)
- Target Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous communities
- Increase Self-Sufficiency and Comprehensive Navigation
