On December 2, the African American Small Business Foundation, Inc. is urging supporters and collaborators to help minority-owned businesses in New York City flourish despite a challenging economic environment. The organization emphasizes the impact donors can make in strengthening small businesses this Giving Tuesday.

Donations will be accepted from December 2 through December 31 to fund the Foundations initiatives planned for 2026.

The African American Small Business Foundation, Inc. plays a central role in this mission, linking entrepreneurs to essential resources, knowledge, and networks for success.

The campaign aligns with the Foundations goal to enhance economic opportunities for Black entrepreneurs through targeted assistance, empowerment strategies, and ongoing community engagement.

These resources ensure that African American entrepreneurs can influence economic policy and access a full range of support to grow their businesses sustainably.

By contributing to the Foundation, donors enable Black-owned small businesses to create long-term jobs, invest in local communities, and foster economic stability for familiescrucial efforts during a difficult economic period. Stronger businesses build stronger communities, the Foundation emphasized.
