#SipBlack Emerging
|
We believe in the power of Black entrepreneurship.
Sipping Black Only pledges 5% of its annual revenue to be given as cash grant (non-equity) to an emerging Black beverage brand owner who exhibits the potential to grow into a sustaining brand. We've launched this grant to provide financial assistance, increased exposure, and long-term support for Black-owned small businesses.
|
A Partnership
|
We need more intentional efforts by the public and private sectors to level the playing field and provide Black entrepreneurs with equitable opportunities for success. However, we’re not waiting for them. In the meantime, we're partnering with our community of Black-owned beverage enthusiasts to provide this funding. Together, we can do great things.
