"The launch of the new partnership between Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women and Grameen America confirms our shared commitment to addressing systemic, financial barriers faced by women of color," said Andrea Jung, President and CEO of Grameen America. "Our joint commitment proceeds with great urgency given the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on communities of color. With this generous support from Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women, we can ensure all women entrepreneurs, regardless of race or income, have access to fair and affordable financial services in communities across America." "We are thrilled to partner with Grameen America and invest in the transformative Elevating Black Women Entrepreneurs program. We know from working intimately with small businesses that access to capital is one of the greatest barriers to entrepreneurship, especially for Black women and the data validates this fact," said Margaret Anadu, Global Head of Sustainability and Impact for Asset Management at Goldman Sachs.
