Grants, loans, and other resources for small business owners.

To provide financial assistance to minority- and women-owned business enterprises (MWBE) in the state, as well as to projects and programs that assist the development of entrepreneurship among minority persons and women in New York State.

SoGal Foundation has teamed up with Winky Lux, bluemercury, twelveNYC and Lively to make a small step towards progress by providing at least (3) $10K and (6) $5K cash grants to Black women or nonbinary entrepreneurs. Awardees will also receive tactical help navigating the fundraising environment at large so that they will have a more equitable opportunity at scaling the next billion dollar idea. They will also receive lifetime “ask-me-anything” access to the SoGal Foundation and SoGal Ventures teams. We know this is a small start, and we are hopeful that it will grow.
