Advancing Black Businesses Foundation Awarded $725,000 to Support Small Business Recovery Across Georgia | Atlanta Black Chambers Advancing Black Businesses Foundation Awarded $725,000 to Support Small Business Recovery Across Georgia The Advancing Black Businesses Foundation (ABBF) has been awarded a $725,000 Small Business Revitalization (SBR) Grant , marking a significant milestone in its ongoing efforts to support small businesses—particularly those in Black and historically under-resourced communities—still recovering from the long-term economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The SBR grant was awarded through the Georgia Coalition of Black Chambers (GCBC) , which received $2. 1 million in funding from the Office of Brian Kemp through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) .

The initiative is designed not only to provide immediate relief, but also to strengthen the operational foundation of participating businesses.
