Mission Statement

At Black Women Network (BWN), our mission is to empower Black Women Entrepreneurs by promoting collaborative entrepreneurial thinking, increasing access to equitable funding, advocating for holistic wellness practices, and providing education on high-growth industries like Web3. We achieve this through our diverse programming that is accessible to all.

About This Cause

The nonprofit, Black Women Network (BWN), is not about an infatuation for black women—though we are awesome. It is about giving voice to the facts. Black women begin the most small businesses, and those businesses are located in various communities of different ethnicities. Black women are also are the most educated group in the US, so our shortage of funding is not attached to a lack of education. It is proven that when Black businesses are invested in, they create more change for the economy compared to other groups who currently have the majority of investment. However, most of these small businesses are working from profit alone and this makes it impossible to scale properly and to employ others. There is untapped potential for investment in your community. The facts are clear. And after meeting with bank after bank and group after group; which all have funneled money for Black women to other people, by saying it would still “affect Black women overall”, BWN had to be formed. It’s goals are clear—to be a liaison for equitable funding until it is no longer needed. Then, it will dissolve. Our mission is national, because this is a national issue affecting every American independent of gender, religion, or ethnicity. When you hold back a people, we are ALL held back—our communities are without proper resources, there are droughts due to closures and certain ideas don’t even come into fruition that can enrich a city and create employment. That is why Black Women Network exists. It is not a faction to promote black excellence or feminism—we exist because it Makes Sense and these businesses are already doing the work successfully and deserve the investment. P.S. Our name, Black Women Network, is not missing a possessive ( ‘s ). Black Women Network is a declarative statement for what we do to create change around us—we network.
