Why Was This Grant Created?
As a prominent e-commerce enterprise, At Wish, we feel we have a duty to assist and empower others. The small businesses owned by Black entrepreneurs have been struggling for far too long due to deep-seated racism. However, these businesses are vital components of the American economic landscape. That is why we have established a $2 million fund to support our approximately 4,000 Wish Local small business affiliates by offering them financial aid. The chosen beneficiaries will receive sums ranging from $500 to $2,000. This initiative is exclusively aimed at Black-owned establishments to promote equity and diversity in American commerce.
