Help Us Amplify Our Impact

Support BIPOC Entrepreneurs & Small Businesses in Oregon

Donations to the Avenue Foundation help expand our Avenues of Impact Mentorship and Marketing Grant Program, which provides financial support, digital marketing mentorship, and professional development opportunities for purpose-driven, BIPOC-owned small businesses in Oregon.

Through the program, eligible entrepreneurs receive $1,000 small business marketing grants, along with one-on-one digital marketing consulting in areas like search engine optimization (SEO), paid advertising, and social media marketing. Participants also receive career coaching and opportunities to connect with other entrepreneurs, helping them build their brands, strengthen their businesses, and expand their impact.

Avenue Agency funds the program's $1,000 marketing grants through 1% of our annual revenue, while donations to the Avenue Foundation help us expand the program's reach and provide additional support to participating entrepreneurs.

Your donations helps us:

  • Increase small business grant funding to provide additional financial resources that help BIPOC entrepreneurs invest in their businesses and move their missions forward

  • Expand mentorship and coaching opportunities by supporting access to digital marketing expertise, professional development, and practical business guidance

  • Build opportunities for community connection through more in-person coaching and networking events where BIPOC business owners can build relationships, share experiences, and learn from one another

For small business owners balancing limited budgets and competing priorities, access to funding, specialized expertise, and a supportive community can make meaningful growth more sustainable.
