 Donate by tackling the challenges Black businesses face within the entrepreneurial ecosystem, we can build a more inclusive economy and unlock the full potential of Black-owned enterprises. This mission aligns with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision for social and economic justice as articulated in The Nation (1966).

Through intentional action, we can help close the racial wealth gap and pave the way for a more prosperous, equitable Summit County.
