Our friends at Ferrero North America’s Famous Amos and the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC) are partnering to launch the Famous Amos Ingredients for Success Entrepreneurs Initiative, an annual national program in its fourth year that provides a total of $150,000 in capital awards, mentorship, and educational resources to Black early-stage businesses.
Program Purpose
Famous Amos continues this initiative in honor of the brand’s founder, Wally Amos, to create pathways for Black business owners to thrive. Famous Amos remains committed to advancing racial equity through its work as a company and its connection to the communities it serves.
Community Overview
Black business owners are encouraged to apply to this national award program. Three winners will receive a total of $150,000 in capital awards. Supporting Black-owned businesses helps to close the wealth gap many in the Black community experience.
