Economic Justice Fund

Support for Black-Owned Businesses Through Grants Up to $10,000

About EJF

The Economic Justice Fund (EJF) was initially launched in the summer of 2020 with a commitment to give $600,000 to families in the Newhallville and Dixwell neighborhoods for basic needs. This expanded coverage is targeted for established Black-owned businesses that have been in operation for at least 24 months in New Haven. The goal of the fund is to create a cadre of Black businesses that are economically resilient to withstand economic recessions as well as being wealth and wage generators for their owners, employees, and the community at large.

Small Business Funding

ConnCORP will be working with trusted business and community partners to solicit referrals to established Black-owned businesses. After a short application process, the 10 businesses accepted in the first round of grant funding will receive up to $10,000 depending on assessed need. 


Second round of applications: TBA
