Coalition to Back Black Businesses
The Coalition to Back Black Businesses is a multi-year initiative to support Black small businesses. The coalition works with American Express, Cummins, Optimum, Shopify, Stanley Black and Decker, the National Black Chamber of Commerce, National Business League, U.S. Black Chambers, Inc., Walker’s Legacy, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation.
For the next four years, the coalition will provide over $14 million in grants, training, and resources to empower Black-owned small businesses in distressed communities that have long been struggling with economic growth. The coalition, from 2020 through 2023, will distribute $5,000 in grants to applicants each fall.
