WISH LOCAL EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM PARTNERS WITH LARGEST AFRICAN AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN NEW YORK STATE TO INCREASE FOOTPRINT IN BLACK BUSINESSES

Phil Andrews, President – Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc.

Nationwide -- The Wish Local Empowerment Program is a $2M fund Wish that is dedicated to giving roughly 4,000 Black-owned businesses financial support. Businesses choose how to best utilize the funding, but suggestions include keeping your workforce employed, paying rent, or connecting with new customers.

It is no secret that Black businesses in America have suffered a tremendous loss during this recent pandemic. Chamber development and leadership development plans and strategies must work in parallel together to foster business growth in the Black Community in a sustainable manner many years into the future. Corporate support of diversity initiatives in the Black community will continue to play a vital role in leveling the playing field in America.

“As President of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. we have seen the direct correlation between chamber development and leadership development in the business sector as an opportunity to not only return businesses to prior levels, but help them to fuel their growth to the next level,” says Phil Andrews, President – Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. – New York State’s largest Black Chamber of Commerce and the New York District Office of the United States Small Business Administration.

Coincidentally, the Chamber launched their campaign to retool, refocus and rebuild Black business in New York state in November of 2019 prior to the COVID-19 crisis. At that time, they decided to raise the bar for what it means to be a Black chamber in New York State. As chambers of commerce such as theirs continue to evolve, they believe that it will result in significant growth of Black businesses across a variety of industries.

Since their chamber was founded, they have actively provided a wide variety of programs and activities geared towards increasing their members’ capacity to grow their respective business enterprises to the next level. The Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, Inc. stands firm on their chamber’s ability to impact the scope, size, and growth of small business owners in their region for many years into the future.

Wish Local is a series of programs that allows small businesses to partner with Wish, one of the largest eCommerce marketplaces in the world. As part of the Wish Local program, businesses select which programs to participate in and can sell their inventory on Wish, act as neighborhood Wish pickup locations, source wholesale items, and more.

Wish recognizes that as a large e-commerce company, they have an opportunity and responsibility to help uplift others and we can’t think of a better way than by helping people build their businesses. To apply for the Wish Local Empowerment Program, visit Wish.com/local/empowerment?utm_source=LIAACC

As part of the initiative, Wish has partnered with Official Black Wall Street and Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce (LIAACC) to help promote the program amongst their networks.

To apply, business owners must tell Wish about their store and why they qualify for the program. Their committee will then review all applications to select which stores will receive funds and allocate funds accordingly. All successful applicants can join the Wish Local program – a global network of 40,000 partner stores around the world. Through the program, they can sign up as a Wish Pickup point or take advantage of their Sell on Wish feature which gives small retailers an immediate digital presence by allowing them to trade their own inventory online. Sign up is free and Wish takes no cut of any product upload, sale or delivery fee.
