Wish Local Empowerment Program
This program provides financial support ranging from $500 to $2000 to Black-owned small businesses to promote equality and diversity in American commerce.
We recognize that as a large e-commerce company we have the responsibility to help uplift others. Black-owned small businesses have long faced hardship due to systemic racism. But small businesses like yours are integral to the makeup of America. So we are dedicating a $2M dollar fund to give roughly 4,000 Wish Local small business partners financial support. The selected recipients will receive amounts between $500 - $2000. This program will only be open to Black-owned stores, to help promote equality and diversity in American business. Wish Local is a series of programs that allows small businesses to partner with Wish. Stores select which programs to participate in. They can sell their inventory on Wish, act as neighborhood Wish pickup locations, source wholesale items, and more. Wish is a mobile-shopping app that has over 500 million shoppers around the world. When you partner with Wish you gain access to Wishโs huge consumer base.
