Our Program Mission

In 2019, minority owned firms made up 15 percent of the nation’s businesses and generated 3 percent of all receipts.* Those numbers need to increase and the opportunity gap for minority-owned businesses needs to be closed – and we want to help. With pro bono counseling, the Scratch team aims to grow the business community, and enable long-term change within our nation’s system.

By providing free-of-charge business counsel and professional guidance, we hope to elevate and amplify the voices of minority-led businesses in the Boston community and beyond.
