The “100 in 1” Campaign

During National Black Business Month (2020 & 2021), several members of our organization set and achieved a goal to volunteer 100 hours at Black owned businesses in one month.

What is National Black Business Month?

In August of 2004, Frederick E. Jordan, an engineering entrepreneur, and John William Templeton, president and editor of a scholarly publishing company, sought to bring attention to the difficulties that black entrepreneurs experienced trying to jump start their businesses.

With only 4% of Black American businesses surviving the start-up stage, Black Business Month is an opportunity to turn our words into action.

Delivering Pro-Bono Services to Black-Owned Businesses

We partnered with skilled Foundation of Freedom community members and aligned collaborators to provide over 40 Black-owned businesses with a suite of free services—including marketing, financial management, and project management support.
