At the Atlanta Black Chambers (ABC), we are dedicated to supporting Black-owned and women-owned businesses by connecting entrepreneurs with valuable funding and resources. Access to capital is one of the most significant barriers for small business owners, especially those from marginalized communities. By securing the right funding, businesses can expand, overcome challenges, and make a lasting impact.
That’s why we are highlighting these funding opportunities specifically aimed at supporting small, Black, and women-owned businesses. These grants not only provide financial support but also include mentorship, business development resources, and opportunities for strategic growth.
Take advantage of these grants to scale your business, improve operations, and create opportunities for future success.
