Building Power. Building Institutions. Building Legacy.

E5 Enclave Incorporated is a Miami-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to Black empowerment through environmental sustainability, economic self-reliance, educational advancement, and equality.

Rooted in Liberty City and honoring the legacy of community builders like Ralph McCartney — an Overtown activist who rebuilt schools and secured critical infrastructure for Black neighborhoods — E5 Enclave builds the institutions and power structures that secure freedom and prosperity for Black communities.

We operate with a volunteer workforce, leveraging innovative green infrastructure, Web3 tools, and community-centered design to create durable, self-sustaining programs that outlast any single grant cycle.

Our Vision
