What We Offer
Our Impact
At The Process, we are making a tangible impact on the Black entrepreneurial community. By providing accessible education, resources, and grants, we are breaking down barriers to entry and empowering Black entrepreneurs to succeed. Our hands-on education covers essential business topics such as bookkeeping, marketing, branding, acquiring commercial real estate, tax preparation, social media management, grant writing, and mental health and wellness.
Our micro-grants cover a range of expenses, including business license registration fees, trademarking, continuing education classes, tax preparation, website design and social media marketing, and product photography and professional headshots. By offering these resources, we are standing in the gap for Black entrepreneurs who face unseen challenges in the journey to launch, grow, or sustain a business.
​
Through our corporate partnership opportunities, we are also creating meaningful collaborations that benefit both our community and the Black business owners we aim to impact. By working together with businesses, we can create a future of economic equity and social justice for all. Our initiatives support career pathways, promote financial equity, and advance criminal justice reform. By investing in Black entrepreneurship, we are creating a more just and equitable future for all.
