ABOUT THE FUND

Empowerment, equality and inclusivity have always been fundamental core values of 437. In an effort to foster permanent change in our community, we will be distributing $20,000USD in the form of grants between four Black female founded businesses. We're looking forwarded to reading all applications and spreading awareness of Black female founded businesses.
