Look at this IMPACTFUL group of changemakers taking the lead to ensure #socialenterprise continues in socially distant times! There's still time to RSVP to participate in the #DesignThinking framework & be in the running to receive up to $15k from IGS Energy & Columbus Foundation!

$5M in non-dilutive funding + support for Black founders! Could not be more proud of the recipients, their incredible startups, and the massive impact they are having and will continue to have on their communities. #FundBlackFounders
