Prosper is a non-profit organization founded in 2021 and aimed at promoting equitable opportunities for Birmingham residents and small businesses. Its initiatives focus on four key areas: health technology, business advisory services, Black-owned business acceleration, and the Birmingham Promise program for public school students.

J. W. Carpenter, former president of the Birmingham Education Foundation, is the executive director. Former Alabama Power CEO Mark Crosswhite was the founding board chair. It shares offices in the One721 Building at 1721–1723 3rd Avenue North with the Alabama Futures Fund.

Prosper was named as a critical economic development partner for the City of Birmingham in Mayor Randall Woodfin's 2023 State of the City address.
