Barefoot Wine is excited to grow its ongoing commitment to supporting entrepreneurship among Black women in partnership with New Voices, a ground-breaking, community-building effort designed to build a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem for women of color. Their model by PACE = Purpose. Access. Capital. Expertise.
This year, Barefoot Wine has expanded the scope of our partnership by investing in Black women-owned businesses across all industries via the 2021 New Voices + Barefoot #WeStanforHer Grants program, which will provide grants of $10,000 each to five entrepreneurs to support and celebrate their unique journeys as Black women-owned businesses. The grants program also includes complimentary business coaching and mentoring from New Voices Foundation for each grantee company.New Voices offers women of color entrepreneurs access to capital, leadership development, skill-building, and networking opportunities via entrepreneurial summits, accelerators, pitch competitions, coaching, and more. The #WeStanForHer platform was created in 2020 to shine a light on the beauty of Black women's entrepreneurial spirit, through original content, conversations, and community partnership.
