"At the heart of the gospel is the message of repair and restoration. That is what The Zaccheus Foundation is all about. Through educational and material investments, they are showing how followers of Christ can be leaders on the journey out of the valley of racial prejudice and onto the sunlit mounts of unity and fellowship." - Dr. Jemar Tisby

"The Zacchaeus Foundation combines biblical truth on repentance and philanthropic ingenuity to address the long manufactured racial wealth gap in America. The Foundation resists the myths of impracticality and stagnating hopelessness by offering a way to clearly lead white Christians and churches in reparations as an act of faith and repentance. I commend the heart and motivations of this unique and long overdue initiative." - Dr. Christina Edmondson
