African American Small Business Foundation Encourages Community to Continue Giving Beyond Giving Tuesday

New York — December 2025 — The African American Small Business Foundation, Inc. is issuing a heartfelt call to donors, supporters, and partners to continue investing in its mission well beyond Giving Tuesday. As the year draws to a close and communities look toward 2026, the Foundation urges individuals and organizations to make year-end contributions and to consider sustaining, monthly gifts that fuel long-term economic advancement.

While Giving Tuesday ignites generosity nationwide, the needs of minority small business owners do not end after the first week of December. Entrepreneurs rely on ongoing support to:

• Start and scale their businesses
• Access technical assistance and business education
• Receive mentorship and leadership development
• Navigate legal, financial, marketing, and operational challenges
• Build generational wealth for their families and communities

Donor support makes this possible—and keeps it possible throughout the year.
