About The $1Million Fund

SheaMoisture announced, under its long-established Community Commerce business model, a $1 Million Fund to support entrepreneurs of color and small businesses.

The grant intends to show the power of small/black-owned businesses to help communities, while also hoping to minimize the financial disruptions that many are experiencing from the current global crisis.​ 

This is one of the largest corporate announcements of funds solely supporting minority and women of color business owners.

 

We know that now, more than ever, corporate social impact can be instrumental in community success. With the announcement of the Fund, we welcome the opportunity to work with partners and influencers as we launch a series of planned initiatives that we have begun to roll out. We likewise extend our support to any initiatives that you or your networks are currently executing during this time.
