The Goldman Sachs funded One Million Black Women Initiative announced its first round of awards and two Atlanta-based non-profits were beneficiaries.

Buy From A Black Woman (Atlanta, Georgia) will receive a grant to continue website development, social media education content, technical assistance and grant funding to small Black-women owned businesses.

Center for Maternal Health Equity at Morehouse School of Medicine (Atlanta, Georgia) will receive a foundational grant to directly address the disproportionate maternal mortality that Black women face in comparison to white women. 60% of maternal deaths are preventable and this investment will seek to reverse this troubling statistic.
