We rise by lifting others — a sentiment that black-owned non-profit organizations share at their cores. There has never been a better opportunity for black-owned businesses to break into the market place and they need every opportunity to succeed.
This is what black-owned non-profits strive to do. They offer the necessary support to set black business owners up for success. In turn, this stimulates the economy in the African/African American communities they serve and call home. By raising and injecting over $1.2M each year into black-owned businesses, The B Network Group aims to do just this. Rise by lifting others. Here are four ways that black-owned non-profits support black-owned businesses.
Financially
Many non-profit organizations support local businesses financially by providing grants and financial assistance. To get your products on the shelves, it takes money to acquire the product necessary to meet the demand. The B Network Group understands this and aims to provide, with your help, the financial boost needed to get black-owned businesses in the marketplace and their products on the shelves.
Market Knowledge
Non-profit organizations have a wealth of knowledge for small business owners that are just breaking into the marketplace. Nobody understands the African and African American communities they serve better than the non-profit organizations that call these communities home. One of the goals of The B Network Group is to help black-owned businesses navigate the marketplace locally and beyond.
Network
It takes a vast network of people to make any business successful. A business needs networks of people to invest in and be patrons of. The B Network Group has built its community of black-owned companies that rise by lifting others. We strive to build African and African American communities through the generous support of African and African American people.
Brand Awareness
Non-profit groups have several tools at their disposal that they use to raise funds and awareness for various organizations. When black-owned businesses need to create awareness for their products, The B Network Group has experienced marketing and finance professionals available to provide that support.
Support Black-Owned Businesses Today
When black-owned businesses thrive, it creates more jobs and a healthier economy not just for African and African American communities but for all communities. This is why we are calling on you for help. One $50 donation helps us to achieve our goal of injecting $1.2M into black-owned businesses each year for 100 years! We know it’s a lofty goal, but The B Network Group strongly believes that When one rises, we all rise.
