Generating Income For Tomorrow, works to revitalize Kansas City’s east side and build up Black-owned businesses by giving out grants, all of which are community funded.
“Were we a city that actually had a system that gave realistic early-stage access to capital to these Black business owners, we would be able to see many more Black businesses thriving and turning into empires,” Brandon Calloway, executive director and co-founder of G.I.F.T., said.
Over the fall, 56 Black-owned businesses, mostly in the east side, applied for more than $1.3 million worth of grants that are not currently all funded.
