National Black Business Month
Since 2004, August has been designated as National Black Business Month. It is a time to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of black business owners. ICIC is pleased to support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)-owned businesses with accessing capital and executive education through programming like Building for Growth (BFG), Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women: Black in Business, and Inner City Capital Connections (ICCC). Additionally, ICIC recognizes the 100 fastest-growing small businesses in underserved communities every year through the Inner City 100 Award (IC100). Last year, 50% of the award winners were BIPOC-owned or led, with 27 Black-owned businesses among them. ICIC takes great pride in recognizing these businesses and their owners as community leaders.
