Because of philanthropic redlining, Black Connect has built, served, and contributed to Black economic development without the level of institutional funding typically available to organizations doing this scale of work.
Everything we have accomplished has been made possible by dedicated volunteers, interns, donors, members, and partners who believe Black economic progress requires infrastructure — not just inspiration.
Your donation helps us continue building that infrastructure: expanding access to legal support, financial planning, business development resources, and the systems Black entrepreneurs need to grow, protect, and sustain their businesses.
Thank you for supporting Black Connect!
Did you know that non-profit leaders of color, on average, have smaller budgets to work with and are more likely to report they lack access to (and face challenges securing) financial support from a variety of funding sources than white leaders?

“If we are to advance as a nation, America must undergo a vast social transformation that is the result of progressive national policies and entrepreneurial ecosystems like Black Connect. Any conversation around social justice or funding for social justice initiatives must include economic justice inclusive of philanthropic justice for organizations led by Blacks.”
It takes a community to sustain a business.
Your contribution will help #CloseTheGap.
