Black Executives Launch Fund to Support Black-Led Companies

The Black Opportunity Fund aims to address systemic anti-Black racism through a permanently endowed fund, inspired by the Equality Fund. It seeks long-term partnerships with businesses, philanthropists, and government to support Black communities across Canada. The fund will focus on strategic allocations to solve complex issues, with a governance structure similar to the Equality Fund. The initiative has garnered significant interest and aims to expand its coalition to over 200 members by the end of summer.
