Black-owned businesses in Toronto not only face the challenges of a global pandemic, but also the everyday struggles that comes with the existing racial wealth gap and lack of representation in the business industry.

ABOUT THE GRANT

As a design studio, we like to do our part in the community by participating in social causes that we are passionate about. One way we are doing this is through our BLM Design Grant, where we offer our services for free to one black-owned business in Toronto. Although a small step, we hope that this will contribute positively to this very important conversation about racial injustice and help black-owned businesses gain the recognition they deserve.

Based on Black Businesses by Year in Operation (BBPCAB) survey, a considerable number of black-owned businesses in Toronto struggle to operate past the 5-year mark.

With our BLM Design Grant,  we are hoping to  contribute to the existing efforts in lowering this percentage by doing what we do best: helping small businesses succeed through great design. It has been proven that strong design is directly linked to the financial performance of a company and helps businesses outperform industry benchmark growth by as much as 2:1 and we are here to help you get there!

If chosen, you'll be working very closely with us until completion of the project as we value your input and aim to produce content authentic to your brand. All you have to do is fill out a quick form!

SUPPORT LOCAL

While we would love to design and collaborate with all the businesses that apply, we are only equipped to support one black-owned business for the time being. However, this should not stop anyone from supporting black-owned businesses in Toronto and that is why we have compiled a list of businesses you can support today!
