Immediate Results. Long-Term Impact.
The COVID-19 pandemic has left our country and our economy shaken.
Small businesses in the US are closing at alarming rates – Black-owned small businesses are closing at 2x the rate of others. There’s no time to waste.
Cities need immediate and trusted programs to ensure their small businesses have the resources needed to stay operational, retain employees, and focus on recovery.
“…over 50% of small businesses with employees face immediate or near-term risks due to the pandemic.”
“Black-owned firms have been almost twice as likely to shutter as firms overall during the pandemic.”
