Unlocking Black Prosperity: Advancing Wealth through Small Businesses, Asset Development, and Community Investment

Across the country, local leaders are driving bold, data-driven strategies to build inclusive economies and advance Black prosperity. A key pillar of this work is supporting Black-owned small businesses through expanded access to capital, increased capacity, and targeted policy changes. This virtual convening will explore innovative policies, community-driven initiatives, and cross-sector strategies that cities can implement to foster Black wealth creation, support asset building, and ensure long-term economic equity and prosperity.

Through insights from the field, demonstrations of innovative data tools, and examples of promising practices already making an impact, this webinar offers a road map for turning data into action. It’s more than a conversation—it’s a call to reimagine how cities invest in Black futures. Whether you’re a city official, a policy advocate, or a community changemaker, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to make data-driven decisions that foster lasting impact.
