Black Women in Food Grants

Of the businesses initiated by Black women, only 3% out of the initial 17% progress into mature stages. By increasing access to capital, food businesses owned by Black women can attain maturity and create a positive influence within their communities.

Made possible by Uber Eats and EatOkra, The Black Women in Food Grant provides $10,000 grants to Black women-owned food businesses.
