Since 1996, the Black Business Initiative (BBI) has been the one-stop shop for Black businesses to achieve their potential. Today, BBI offers the funding, training and networking opportunities to help more than 200 Black businesses per year to grow and thrive.
Through our charitable arm, Business is Jammin’ (BIJ), we help spark entrepreneurialism among Black youth. We work with more than 500 young people each year. We build bridges to brighter futures and sustainable wealth creation for Black communities across Atlantic Canada – and beyond.
We are proud of our Nova Scotian roots but are scaling our impact to change lives throughout Atlantic Canada and beyond.
Together with our ecosystem partners, BBI will defy and rally against systemic racism and barriers to economic independence to create a more inclusive and prosperous business landscape for all.
Economic independence of individuals
Improved standards of living
Career options for youth
Pride in communities.
A dynamic and vibrant black presence within the Atlantic Provinces’ business community.
