Philanthropy

Founded in 1999, The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis Women’s Business Center, formally known as Grace Hill Women’s Business Center, is an organization committed to providing business development to aspiring entrepreneurs, more specifically minority women. Through partnerships with other organizations in the community, the WBC is able to offer programs such as 1:1 business counseling, seminars, speakers series, etc. to support every step of entrepreneurship.

The Women’s Business Center offers an annual 12-week program, aimed at informing and engaging female entrepreneurs. This program, through individual coaching and providing access to professional services, allows for entrepreneurs to strengthen their knowledge of business. Participants who complete the series are able to win scholarships to advance their entrepreneurial goals. Black Anthology is proud to partner with The Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis Women’s Business Center to support their 12-week program, which grants women entrepreneurs the tools to excel.

Black Anthology understands the importance of empowering and supporting female entrepreneurship, especially female minority entrepreneurs. We are thrilled to partner with an organization like the Women’s Business Center who aims to do the same. We will be collecting monetary donations that will go towards their 12-week program scholarships. The Women’s Business Center has supported Black Anthology this year by providing informational business workshops to our community, and we hope to give back to them through this year’s philanthropic initiative.
