With 316 applications to the inaugural cohort of the Minding My Black-Owned Business mini-grant and educational program, we were inspired by both the level of interest and the quality of the applications. Let’s celebrate the achievement of this first group of 32 entrepreneurs, while we support and empower them to launch or expand their wide-ranging businesses.

As this is a pilot program, our top priority is servicing our first cohort of businesses and entrepreneurs with the utmost care.  We look forward to reporting on the results of this inaugural cohort.  However even as we move forward with this group we are seeking funding sources for future cohorts. If you, your company, or your organization are interested in being part of this program’s future and would like to learn more about how you can be involved in funding this project, please contact Pia Harris at pia.harris@sfhdc.org.

Funding for this program is made possible through the financial support of the Dream Keeper Initiative, the Human Rights Commission, and the Office of Economic and Workforce Development.
