“More than eight years ago, an organization that unapologetically focuses on supporting Black economic mobility was born. Since then, we’ve funded businesses that have generated nearly $8.3 million in gross revenues with more than 80 jobs created or maintained.

“We know the power of a microloan. It not only represents funding—it sends a powerful and unifying message that conveys belief in the Black community.”

Robert Lewis,
President, BCIF

“If you want to truly be free, you have to be able to generate wealth. The way communities move forward is through wealth generation. And that’s the truth. They make it feel taboo to talk about, but it shouldn’t be”
— Damola Adamolekun, CEO, Red Lobster

From boardrooms to shopping carts, Black Americans shape and power the U.S. economy in ways that can't be ignored. 🖤🇺🇸 With our estimated purchasing power soaring past $1.6 trillion, and projected to climb even higher in the coming years.

Case in point: Target's rollback of DEI initiatives sparked a national boycott—sparked by Rev. Jamal Bryant's 40-day "Target Fast"—that has led to long-time CEO Brian Cornell stepping down.

Black consumers are not just consumers. We're cultural and economic game-changers. As our buying power continues to rise, now is the moment for Black-owned brands to grow with strength, support, and security in the community.
