The Markaaz Community Development Initiative

Differentiate yourself from your competitors by sponsoring a small business’s membership on Markaaz. Sometimes, that’s all it takes.  

We’re inviting you to join our Community Development Initiative (CDI), which is a pledge that we make to provide 100,000 businesses with access to Markaaz for a year for free. Making resources like the all-in-one Dashboard and pre-verified Directory available to every small business is what drives equity and equal opportunity.  

We know that businesses who have the right tools, resources, and knowledge available to them are three times as likely to succeed.  And we also know that when we equip minority business owners with such resources that the gratitude and impact is long-lasting. We are business owners ourselves. We know that sometimes all it takes is for someone to believe in you, for someone to see you. By sponsoring a business, you show them that they matter, that you care.
