LinkedIn Announces Grants to Support Black History Month

LinkedIn proudly announces a $500000 grants program exclusively for black entrepreneurs on the platform to celebrate and observe Black History Month. From February 1st to March 1st is observed as Black History Month. The grants program is one of the broader initiatives taken by the social networking site to show its support to the Black Community. The platform is heavily investing in multi-hyphenate Black entrepreneurs and professionals by enhancing the stories of Black-owned businesses on the LinkedIn platform. Recent LinkedIn data has shown that there has been a significant increase in Black entrepreneurs taking up new projects to accelerate the growth of their business. LinkedIn will continue to provide more incentives and donate to Blavity.org and digitalundivided to boost the annual Black entrepreneurship fellowship programs.
