A Small Business Ecosystem that Works for Everyone!
Welcome to RICHRVA!
RICHRVA partners with organizations and individuals committed to supporting our mission of narrowing wealth gaps for small businesses owned by people of color in our region.
Our Vision
At RICHRVA, we think entrepreneurs and small businesses can make a big difference in communities. We’re here to create a supportive space where entrepreneurs and small business owners can do well, and where our partners can contribute meaningfully.
Building RICHRVA
In the fall of 2020, in partnership with JPMC Global Philanthropy, Next Street, Common Future, Greater RVA Small Business stakeholders launched an initiative to assess the state of the small business ecosystem with underrepresented entrepreneurs.
