Dogwood provided initial funding for the Community Equity Fund at Eagle Market Streets Community Development Corporation to help increase access to flexible capital for entrepreneurs of color. By providing access to capital, technical assistance and the support of a cohort, the Community Equity Fund is expected to serve up to 30 businesses and support approximately 150 jobs to help BIPOC business owners and workers begin to build assets and create wealth. For each family that has one member that owns a business, the wealth gap decreases from 12% to 3%.
