Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • 10,000 Small Businesses delivery at community colleges nationwide
  • One Million Black Women: Black in Business entrepreneurship grants
  • National curriculum and program oversight (Babson, ICIC)
  • 10,000 Small Businesses abroad: UK and France business schools
  • Access to capital via CDFIs and lending intermediaries
  • 10,000 Women online platform and women's capital facilities

Typical grant

Median grant is $153,100, with the middle half between $75,000 and $646,144. The seven-figure checks go almost entirely to community colleges and universities running 10,000 Small Businesses in a named metro, plus national program managers like Babson, ICIC and Oxford at $3M to $4M. Community-based One Million Black Women partners cluster at $125,000 to $250,000, and nearly every large grantee reappears in consecutive years at similar or growing amounts.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • GRANT TO IMPLEMENT THE 10,000 SMALL BUSINESSES INITIATIVE
  • ONE MILLION BLACK WOMEN
  • BLACK IN BUSINESS
  • INCREASE ACCESS TO CAPITAL FOR WOMEN
  • PROGRAM DELIVERY AND THE 10,000 SMALL BUSINESSES NATIONAL CURRICULUM

Positioning adjacent work

  • Attach work to a named metro or state delivery site for 10,000 Small Businesses, not a new concept.
  • Community-based groups should size asks at $125,000 to $250,000 under One Million Black Women.
  • Emphasize implementation and delivery capacity, curriculum, or CDFI lending rather than research or evaluation.
  • Lead with Black women entrepreneurs, capital access, or maternal health equity, their only non-business theme funded.

Worth knowing: This is essentially a corporate program balance sheet, not open philanthropy: two branded initiatives absorb nearly all $140M, and the same 25 or so community colleges and national partners repeat every year. New names appear almost exclusively as local delivery partners for One Million Black Women at $125,000 to $250,000, which suggests entry happens through the initiative teams rather than through an unsolicited proposal.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
