The Dallas Accelerator Program will leverage educational resources to support small business growth and capacity building to solidify the stability in the market. The City of Dallas has selected three program operators: Business & Community Leaders (BCL) of Texas, the Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce, and the Greater Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
The Dallas Black Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Office Depot's 'Elevate Together' initiative, is proud to offer grants aimed at empowering minority-owned businesses. This collaboration provides financial support and resources to help small businesses overcome systemic barriers and achieve sustainable growth.
