## Resource

The Penny Foundation in Birmingham has launched a bold new campaign: “Every Penny. Every Person. Every Possibility.” With a goal of raising $10,000, they’re channeling funds directly into Black-owned businesses, HBCUs, and community-led projects—fueling economic empowerment where it’s needed most. Building on their 2024 success that distributed $125,000 in small business grants, they’re calling on individuals and organizations to chip in, no matter the size. This is more than fundraising—it’s about leveling the playing field for Black entrepreneurs and building thriving communities from the ground up.
