Hello BCD Alliance Members, as you know, BCD Alliance is an organization dedicated to supporting black-owned businesses. We understand that the civic, economic, and social prosperity of a community and the success of its business sectors. So, we have set out to build a world that benefits our community by supporting black-owned businesses within our community. As with most businesses in 2020 Covid-19 forced BCD Alliance to stop temporarily; however, we took that time to reimagine what this organization will do for our community and leverage our resources.
What’s new! BCD Alliance operates on four pillars:
1.) Networking
2.)Resources
3.) Galvanizing
4.) Economics
As we develop programs for our membership, these four pillars will be at the core of the events. We want to help you accomplish your business goals. So be on the lookout for our Masterminds Sessions and Lunch and Learn Activities.



Did you know?
Similarly, this is what we seek to do with the BCD Alliance Organization and it is truly through members like you that this can become possible.
” The Federal Reserve reviewed the financial health of small businesses around the country in 2019 and found that 58% of black business owners said their business’s financial health was either ” at-risk or distressed”, compared to just 27% of white business owners. While 37% of white business owners said their business was “healthy”, no other ethnic group broke 30% with the same response.” -Taken from NerdWallet.com.
Between unequal funding and necessary job creations for the National Economy, supporting black-owned businesses couldn’t be more critical…..and that is why BCD Alliance was created.


New Changes meets New Opportunities
We started with revamping the website. We know that you have not been on the website for a while, so please go and reconnect, www.bcdalliance.org.
We revised our mission: “Be the most prominent international network of black business owners to empower each other by establishing reliable connections, enhancing business practices, and serving our community through mentorship, referrals, and training”.
