We understand the importance of maintaining a bipartisan approach to advocacy; hence, we collaborate with policy makers from all political affiliations to advocate for policies that best serve the interest of the African American community.

ACCESS TO CAPITAL
Capital access remains the most important factor limiting the establishment, expansion, and growth of African American-owned businesses. The Georgia African American Chamber works with financial institutions, particularlyAfrican American-owned institutions, to create avenues through which African American businesses can gain greater access to credit, capital, and other financial instruments.

To do this, we utilize a variety of mechanisms, including: training, web-based tools, peer net- working, coaching, resource partners, and information products.
