To provide financial support for diverse social and community impact projects originated and led by Detroiters of African descent.
Program accomplishments
- Black Leaders Detroit (BLD) issued $1,217,500 in no-interest loans and $362,000 in grants. BLD helped provide a significant financial boost to businesses and nonprofits owned by individuals of African Descent, which often struggle to access adequate funding. BLD proudly welcomed college interns to assist in the enhancement of our Rising Black Leaders programan entrepreneurial initiative designed to empower and invest in high school school scholars through transformative grants. We also celebrated the spirit of entrepreneurship with the EnterpreneuHERs Brunch, a high-energy, speed-dating style pitch competition that highlighted the dynamism and ingenuity of women entrepreneurs of African descent. BLD also spearheaded a series of activations throughout Detroit, promoting the importance of shopping local and supporting our vibrant Black business community. These initiatives are all part of our commitment to fueling creativity, innovation, and economic empowerment.Expenses $1,031,503 · revenue $2,228,225
