A Queenpreneur's Plan: Empowering Black Women Entrepreneurs
Increasing representation through resource advocacy, empowerment, and education.
About
A Queenpreneur's Plan 501(c)(3) is an award-winning nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering and supporting Black women entrepreneurs, artists, and HBCU students. Recognized as the Nonprofit of the Year by the Huntsville Metro Black Chamber, we are committed to addressing the fact that 61% of Black women self-fund their businesses, often facing greater challenges in accessing traditional funding sources. Our mission is to close that funding gap by providing resources, mentorship, and financial support to help Black women entrepreneurs thrive.
