The increasing challenges for Black people are significantly known for a long time now. During this emergency crisis, both the minorities and the Black community are facing a hard time globally. Facebook has recently taken an initiative to highlight such owned businesses on its application to make them gain some benefit productively.
Facebook proclaims that this added subsection on its businesses nearby section is preferably to support the Black people and their businesses.
However, in the acknowledgment of this report, it is important to note that Facebook has also announced a substantial aid to the Black community to support a few months back. It has not only aimed to boost their confidence but also to motivate them to bring their businesses up again in this competitive world.
Facebook has allotted approximately $40 million funds for the black-owned businesses preferably, small businesses. The rules of grant funding have included that companies that have employed more than 50 workers can avail of this fund. Yet, this service is only for the selective 10,000 firms owned by the Black community.
Notably, Facebook has previously funded $200 million that the company has equally divided into the owners of small businesses and their suppliers.
Furthermore, Facebook has claimed that they are also funding other minorities and women business owners, along with black-owned businesses for a few months now to ensure that they are not alone.
Marking the interest of these people, Facebook has planned to take this step of making their small businesses, shops, or companies known to the world all over. Facebook has further stated that admins of the pages who are willing to continue this aid will have full accessibility to the controls of their Facebook page. Yet, self-identification and designation are not mandatory, and it solely depends on the admins of these pages.
Facebook has also presented with a separate guide about their activities and strategy that they are following to help the minorities, Veterans women, and more significantly Black communities.
Recently, Google has also added a separate badge to make businesses owned by black more prominent.
Facebook has cleared the queries that it will not mark any specific name or label on the business. The Black-owned shops, companies, or organizations will alone get a separate place in the subsection. These efforts will make them appear on top of the search results. Furthermore, Facebook is also working on a separate tab for new organizations or companies owned by the minorities.
