PHILADELPHIA, Pa – October 20, 2025 – Zenith Wealth Partners (Zenith), a minority-owned, fee-only, independent RIA, announced a new partnership with the Urban League of Greater Philadelphia (ULGP) to align long-term investment strategy with ULGP’s 2025–2028 strategic plan to expand impact across the Greater Philadelphia region. ULGP’s strategy centers on growth in membership, visibility, service capacity, resource development, community impact and advocacy, built through a community-informed planning process.
The partnership represents a deep mission alignment for both organizations. ULGP’s century-long commitment to economic empowerment and opportunity within disenfranchised communities’ parallels Zenith’s mission to expand access to high-quality financial advice and investment management for underrepresented groups. Together, the organizations are working to ensure that community impact is matched by financial sustainability.
Zenith will help steward assets that power ULGP’s programs in economic mobility, reentry, workforce development, home ownership, entrepreneurship, health, education, and civic engagement. In the past year, ULGP advanced regional economic equity through SupplyPHL, with 12 firms securing 19 public contracts totaling 7.9 million dollars and 1.9 million dollars in growth capital. The Urban League has also launched its Community Development Financial Institution (ULP-CIF) and closed its first loan.
“The Urban League of Greater Philadelphia exemplifies what it means to combine service, advocacy, and empowerment. We’re thrilled to partner in ensuring that their transformative mission is supported by a resilient and impactful financial strategy.”
— Andrew Tudor, CAP, CFP®, Investment Advisor, Zenith Wealth Partners
ULGP’s workforce initiatives served more than 1,900 people through digital skills, coaching, internships, and leadership development, with Ready2Work completing three cohorts and a 98 percent completion rate.
ULGP also awarded more than 30 scholarships of 5,000 dollars each to graduating seniors and is advancing a Well-Being Center in West Philadelphia that will integrate services with a free clinic for the uninsured.
“Partnering with Zenith strengthens the backbone of our work. It gives ULGP the steady financial footing to keep saying yes to the returning citizen, the first-time homebuyer, the job seeker, the entrepreneur, and the next-generation college student, with confidence the capital will be there.”
— Darrin W. Anderson, Sr., Ph.D., MS, President & CEO, Urban League of Greater Philadelphia
