hope builderz fellowship

We are proud to introduce Hope Builderz, our groundbreaking business program designed to promote racial equity and uplift black-owned businesses. Our inaugural cohort is made possible through a grant from Michael Jordan and the Jordan Brand Black Community Commitment grant. 

 

Hope Builderz is a 10-week program that aims to provide start-up businesses with the essential resources and support needed for sustainable growth. With a focus on fostering innovation and entrepreneurship, we are committed to the future for black entrepreneurship. By joining Hope Builderz, entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to gain critical knowledge and skills, secure necessary funding, and establish a strong foundation for their businesses to flourish. Upon completion of the program, participants will receive a generous $2,500 investment towards their business ventures.
