Event Details

Small businesses have long been one of the few ways BIPOC communities are able to build wealth. However, the difficulties of operating a small business are magnified for BIPOC small business owners, who have to navigate both the complexities of business operation and structural racism that can deny them access to resources. Community Benefit Organizations, or CBOs, have been instrumental in assisting small businesses through these challenges, from helping with taxes, assisting with finding financing and more. How can CBOs go further to level the playing field for BIPOC businesses? Join us for a panel discussion on how CBOs are trying to develop local ecosystems to support BIPOC owned businesses over the long term.
