Corporate Engagement

 

Black Connect’s corporate members, partners and sponsors are leaders in corporate responsibility and agents of change. We curate programs and initiatives that provide various forms of corporate engagement in Black Connect’s mission of providing resources to Black-owned businesses.

 
 

Support our mission by sponsoring one or more of our corporate initiatives.

Take a look at some of our past events and contact us to design a custom in-person or virtual event that meets your company’s needs!
