The U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Community Navigator Pilot Program (CNPP) is an American Rescue Plan initiative designed to reduce barriers that underrepresented and under-resourced entrepreneurs often face in accessing the programs they need to start, grow, or recover their businesses.” The U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC) and 20 USBC Black Chambers of Commerce serve African American and minority/women-owned firms (MWBEs) under this program. In addition to directly connecting MWBEs to SBA programs, lending, and local resources, our team ensures that small and micro-businesses receive support and access to technical assistance services, available grants, business financing, and certification and contract opportunities to help firms grow, expand, and sustain over time.

We have created this online portal for you to access and reach out for services through our chamber network. Our hope is that you utilize the CNPP resources for your business needs to get connected to people, networks, organizations, corporations, and public agencies in your local market. Please visit this page often for information on counseling, training, financing, contracting, grants, technical assistance, and other resources crafted with you in mind
