I have some exciting news!
As part of our commitment to uplift Black businesses across the country, NAACP has partnered with Hello Alice, a multichannel platform that helps businesses launch and grow, to create the Black-Owned Business Center.
By deploying more than $4 million in grants to Black businesses, this powerful partnership will help alleviate some challenges our entrepreneurs face when starting and growing a business. The initiative will help provide access to capital and address the implicit bias in capital decisions.
In addition to expanding economic opportunity for all Black and New Majority-owned businesses, all applicants will have full access to resources available on the Hello Alice platform, which includes small business how-to-guides, mentorship, digital support communities, and additional funding opportunities. Owners can access these dedicated resources and apply for the grant series by visiting blackbiz.helloalice.com.
Visit Hello Alice’s Black-Owned Business Center to apply for the grant series and to access a growing resource of networks and opportunities.
In Solidarity,
