The struggle for Black owned businesses is real. There are over 3,000,000  Black owned businesses in the US, and many often go without comparable access to capital that majority owned businesses have. The Modern Green Book Foundation hopes to bridge that gap by providing grants, programming, and experiences for entrepreneurs and their communities.

Programs, Events & Grants!

Programming & Experiences

Each of our events aims to support, uplift, and celebrate Black Brands. For any ticketed event or event with a fee, the net profit from that event will go towards building the grant fund up, so the more you attend, the more we can give!
