Grant applications don’t have to suck.

That’s why ours is simple.

Initiative for Black Owned Small Businesses

We are a no nonsense nonprofit founded to support Black-owned small businesses through micro grants which can be used however the businesses see fit. We have grassroots origins and understand grassroots needs, and we are delighted to serve the community.

We offer grants, not loans, and don’t require receipts.

Your money, your decisions. There is no red tape, no reporting requirements, and no obligations for our grantees to pay it forward (although that has been the natural result).

Have Questions? We’ve got answers.

  • Businesses that are 50% or more Black-owned with $150K or less in taxable income.

  • You can submit a grant application here.

  • Grants are made possible by our generous donors, which consist of individuals and organizations of all sizes.
