This is a small grant for Black women and Black nonbinary founders running scalable, venture-track businesses that plan to raise investor financing. Awards reach $10,000, so it is a boost, not a funding source. If you are not a Black woman or nonbinary founder, run a nonprofit, or have no intention of pursuing venture capital, do not apply.
