Aligning with the SDGs
Why It Matters?
The UN’s SDGs are fast becoming a way for governments, businesses, organizations, and even individuals to identify not only their goals but also their values, objectives, or social impacts. The vibrant multi-colored representation is developing into a trendy and popular recognizable symbol.
The SDGs are a fun and colorful way to express the impact you want to see in the world.
Over the years, our mission has evolved to something greater than only being known as an online directory. Today our vision is to see Black-serving organizations worldwide become sustainable, self-sufficient, and empowered to create generational impact for the Black Ecosystem to thrive for years to come.
