WHO WE ARE
ARG Cultivators Community was formed as an Arizona non-profit, late 2020 501(c)(3) to bridge the economic wealth gap for minority and women-owned businesses. The pandemic exposed the biases that exist in the business ecosystem and the impact that they have on people of color and women-owned businesses. According to an article in National Geographic, 41% of black-owned firms closed within 4 months of the pandemic. ARG Cultivators Community is a conduit for change, helping to strengthen businesses across the nation.
