Employment Equity

Supporting Entrepreneurs

We’re expanding assistance for small business enterprises owned by people of color and women to accelerate business growth. We’re doing this by supporting:

• Community development financial institutions (CDFIs) and loan funds geared specifically toward assisting people of color.
• Capacity-building programs that help small business owners gain the skills they need to grow their businesses.
• Technical assistance to help small business owners learn to navigate complicated systems like tax and banking systems.
