Do you charge for this service?

No. Black Oxygen was built to serve black entrepreneurs in growing their businesses. Our intent is to be a non-profit organization funded by volunteers, donors, and grants.

Can anyone join the black oxygen platform?

The platform connects black business owners (including startups) to volunteers that can make donations of professional services, equipment, or supplies to help these business owners. After registration Black Oxygen staff members verify and validate the members. Only legal  businesses will be admitted to the platform, and only verified volunteers will be admitted to the platform.

Is there a contract, cost, or obligation of any kind ?

No. All platform members must adhere to our Terms of Use and Code of Conduct to remain in good standing as a member.

WHAT is the point of all this?

Because its time we all try to make a difference in righting a wrong that's been allowed to persist for far too long in this country. Inequality. We feel one of the most powerful ways to help the black community is to give access to funding and knowledge that can help them grow their businesses, hire people from their communities, and most importantly create wealth. We believe creating wealth is a cornerstone for achieving equality, security, and long-term prosperity for the black community. Go here for an historical view on Financial Injustice.
