Becoming Anti-Racist is a journey, a life-long commitment to "do justice". We are not all starting from the same place or life experiences and that is okay. We are simply asking you to lean in and open yourself up to learning. We're sharing resources and encouragement, hosting trainings and events and taking action to help each of us become Anti-Racist. We want to impact our community and bring about change. All proceeds from merchandise sales will benefit the Minority Business Incubator. Will you partner with us? To commit to this effort, join the email list and follow us on social media. We'll make sure you know about all the ways we can partner together for this movement. Create bold change with us.
Help raise the next generation of justice leaders by volunteering to plan and launch St.Luke’s Freedom School for students in the summer of 2022.
Minority-owned businesses are one of the backbones of the nation’s economy. Over the last 10 years, these businesses have created over 4.7 million jobs. Currently, there are more than 4 million minority-owned businesses in the United States, with sales that total nearly $700 million. Despite their growing importance, minority businesses face many obstacles, particularly when it comes to business financing. Minority businesses are much less likely to get loans than non-minority business owners, especially for ventures with less than $500,000 in gross receipts. And the ones that minority small businesses get from lenders tend to be half of what their counterparts receive.
This year, St. Luke's is hosting our second Northwest Minority Business Incubator event, for which entrepreneurs are invited to present their ventures, focused on inclusive entrepreneurship. As a part of the incubator, these entrepreneurs receive a variety of resources and benefits to help level the playing field, ranging from access to training opportunities as well as business loans and more! Help St.Luke’s put our money where our mission is and give or volunteer for our minority business incubator. Click here to learn more.
